An Open Letter To The Hardworking Girl In College

To the hardworking girl in college,

I see the sleepiness in your eyes as easily as I see the weariness in your heart. I feel how hard it is for you to get up every morning knowing that you have school and work right after.

When I look at you, I see someone that's determined to succeed. I see a girl who wants to change the world, and I really hope that you will. This right here is me telling you that I believe in you. You work and love harder than anyone else I know.

While the long days can get you down and wear you out, you never stop looking for a challenge. To give up just isn't in your nature.

You're coming up, and the world isn't ready for how amazing you are.

When I look at you, I see someone who had to work for every single penny they have and forge their own way without the help that so many other people our age get. You are making your own path. Day after day, you inspire me to be the best me that I can be because anything less is unacceptable.

I watch you push yourself and take on more assignments than you know you should, and never once do you give up. At this point, I'm convinced it's just not in your DNA.

You're a different breed, Your cells are made up of dedication, perseverance, and pure grit. They don't make them like you anymore.

If I could tell you anything, it would be to never stop.

All of the work you're doing is to get closer to your goal. I can see how badly you want it. So just know that I will always be by your side, looking up to the hardworking girl that pushes me to be my best self.

I see the work you put into everything you do. I see you. I see your flaws and moments of weakness. I see your strength and your passion.

Do not ever let anyone turn you off of this path. You're headed for great things. I hope that when you change the world one day, you look back and see yourself through the eyes I see you through now.

To the hardworking girl who's doing her best right now, it's going to work out. I have all of the faith in the world in 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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
