A Letter to my Best Friend

Thanks for being the Dwight to my Michael.

A Letter to my Best Friend
Lani Vanlandingham

Dear best friend,

I haven’t known you my whole life. I didn’t even meet you until a few years ago, but that’s okay. Sometimes you annoy me like no other. Sometimes I can’t stand you. But still, every day, I look over to see you right beside me. You're the peanut butter to my jelly, the sunshine to my rainy day, the chocolate to my Snickers, and the Dwight to my Micheal. I simply couldn’t, and wouldn’t, be here without you.

We have had so many great memories together, such as staying up for 2 days straight, watching nothing but Harry Potter, and not sleeping until we watched every single one of them. Often times, we call each other and talk about nothing else rather than how cute that one boy looks. We never pretend around each other. I can feel completely like myself when I'm with you. I can call you at 2 in the morning and just cry through the phone, and you would still be on the line.

You have helped me through so much. No matter what it is, you are ALWAYS there. And I love that about you. You never make me feel stupid about my mistakes or get angry when I'm a little witch to you.

But I want you to feel just as safe with me. I want to be the first one you go to when you have problems. I always want to be the shoulder you have to cry on. I don't want you to feel like I'm only there when something is wrong with me.

You make me laugh so hard I'm crying. You make me question whether the sun is not really the moon, and if the color yellow is really green. You are just simply you. So thank you.

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.
