Some may recognize you as Mitchie Torres from "Camp Rock." Others may know you as Sonny Munroe from "Sonny with a Chance." If they've been fangirling since 2007, like I have, then they most definitely know you as Charlotte from As the Bells Rings. Whether Mitchie, Sonny, or Charlotte, you are the Demi Lovato we've loved since the very beginning, and I am here to say, thank you. Thank you for genuinely standing in front of the world bare, raw and transparent.

I remember watching your documentary, "Simply Complicated," and not being able to withhold the tears. It was astonishing to me that someone, especially a celebrity, could have so much courage to admit, "The last time I did an interview this long I was on cocaine" but you were telling us your truth. You shared your struggles, your journey to overcoming those hardships, and the battle to continue to remain so full of strength. You were and still continue to be, authentic and real.

The first time I heard "Sober," I instantly told my friend "Play it again." I froze in the car as soon as I heard "Wake me when the shakes are gone and the cold sweats disappear" because I immediately knew what came next. As your fan, I'm not mad or disappointed. I think you're extraordinary for having the balls to tell the entire world that you're not sober anymore. But like you said in the song, you're only human, and Demi, you are still my role model. I know that I have absolutely no idea what you're going through so I won't pretend or try to relate. I do, however, know that as humans we all make mistakes and all we can do in life is learn from them.

So, here's to another 7 years (of course we hope for more) of sobriety. Here is to you being free just like the words tattooed on your pinky finger. Thank you for teaching the world, especially women like myself, to be brave and authentic. Thank you for showing us that if we fall to get back up and wholeheartedly love ourselves through it all. I, along with the rest of the Lovatics have watched you fall again and we still think you're a queen.

We love you, Demi. 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.

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 want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.
