To My High School Best Friends...
Sarah Sistrunk

To my high school best friends, thank you for getting me through my high school years. Those four years would have been boring and miserable without y'all! I could have never survived those locker filled halls and crazy teacher's classrooms if I hadn't had y'all by my side. Friday night football games turned into weekend long parties. Thank you for the unlimited amount of sleepovers and car jam sessions. And speaking of car jam sessions... I'm glad I found friends who could go from High School Musical to rap to country and who didn't mind my horribly off key voice. Every car ride turned into a concert or a deep conversation about life. The best time for deep convos were at night though, when we would be just about to fall asleep and then all the sudden have the need to spill out all of the questions that have haunted us. It was then that I learned so much about life and took what you guys have to say to heart.

To my high school best friends, thank you for always speaking truth into my life. I know I can always come to you guys for anything. Y'all will tell me straight up if I'm about to do something stupid, but you will also let me make my own mistakes and be there for me when I didn't listen to y'all in the first place. You guys are my go to for everything, whether it's something serious or just freaking out because I saw the cutest baby ever. I know I can always come to y'all to receive the same amount of emotion I feel on any subject I present to you, especially cute boys! Even though our taste in guys are very different, I will always have to have your approval on the boys I date. If y'all disapprove, then bye bye boy!

To my high school best friends, thank you for not only sticking with me through high school but also college. First semester of freshman year was the longest amount of time we had ever been apart since we had met. It was hard to be apart, but the reunion was great and it was so amazing to realize that nothing had changed between us. We were going to make this different college and towns thing work! Yes, I am jealous of your new friends, just as I know y'all are jealous of mine, but I'm glad y'all have people looking out for you at college. But just don't forget about me when you're at school.

To my high school best friends, thank you for being the best friends I could have ever imagined. I am so blessed that God brought y'all into my life and I pray that y'all never leave. As we get ready to leave for school and take on another year apart, I am so glad that we had these few months to reconnect. I am constantly overwhelmed that I get to have such beautiful, Godly, awesome girls as my friends. I love you girls!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
