A Letter To My Quad Squad
Alyssa Olsem

Dear Quad Squad,

We are made up of food runs, perverted jokes, and day long shopping trips. We laugh at and with each other. We tell each other how it is and aren't afraid to hold back our own opinions. We are four completely different human beings that have come together to take on the world, just as we are about to separate and embark on our own adventures in college. As we begin to part ways soon, anything could happen to any one of us.

In a year or two, we may no longer be friends and may become acquaintances, or our bond may have grown stronger within distance. Who knows what the world has in store for us, so let's have cheers to the few weeks we have left together. Cheers to the arguments we have experienced and grown from, cheers to the insane giggle fits at any time of day, and cheers to the love we have for each other.

This whole summer, we have planned around each other's schedules and now that it is August, we have to schedule around our departure dates. We have experienced so much together, and I have admired each of you since we first met. I aspire to have the confidence each of you contains.

You are all beautiful in your own ways, and your souls glow with warmth and kindness. You all will have successful and bright futures ahead of you and I can't wait to watch your life unfold before your eyes. I appreciate your care for me more than you could ever know.

I hope you will all receive the love you deserve from a significant other, don't settle because you deserve to be treated and respected like the queens you are. I know this isn't goodbye for forever, but as we move on to bigger and better things in the world, I want you to remember the little things.

The silence between us as we eat our ice cream in the shop, the sing-along dance jams in the car, the forgiveness we give each other after an argument, the way each of us talk when we are passionate about something, the way our face brightens and the hugs we give to each other after we go to long without seeing each other, and the way each of us smiles when we were truly happen.

The love I have for the Quad Squad is endless and I hope I never have to say goodbye to any one of you. Thank you for the love and support.

Sincerely,

1/4 of the Quad Squad

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.
