An Open Thank You Letter To My Childhood Best Friend

Man, those were the days.

I don't know a better way to start this letter than with a simple thank you.

Thank you for every single laugh and every single memory. I can't seem to think of a single memory of my childhood when you were not there.

Thank you for the sleepovers when we said we were gonna pull an all-nighter but fell asleep at 10:30.

Thank you for talking about ugly boys with me.

Thank you for making cup song videos with me.

Thank you for helping me prank call my parents at work when you were over.

Thank you for the impromptu photo shoots in the tree in my backyard.

Thank you for creating dance routines with me to the crazy popular High School Musical hits.

Thank you for taking the most awkward pictures with me (that for some reason are still on our Facebook accounts).

Thank you for being you. Thank you for making me laugh until I couldn't breathe. From sitting right next to each other in elementary school to going our separate ways in middle school, the weekends were always the best because that meant that we got to hang out.

I know we haven't seen each other in over three years and I know we don't even really talk anymore, but remembering all of the over-a-decade of memories that we share will ALWAYS be something to make us both laugh until we cry.

Childhood best friend, you are a huge reason why I am the person I am today. You taught me how to have fun, how to laugh until I got abs, and how to hold my breath underwater until I almost passed out.

But most of all, thank you for being the person that I can always count on. Whether we talked the night before or whether I need you tomorrow, thank you for always being there to talk, laugh, and cry with me.

You are truly fantastic. I will always love you dearly,

your forever best friend.

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.
