We are not dating -- we're just friends.

A Letter To My Guy Best Friend
Logan Prochaska

Boy best friends, we all have them. Most of the time people confuse him for your boyfriend (gross, I know). However, sometimes that is a bit of a compliment because although we will never be together, it's nice to know that everyone else can see that he is constantly looking out for you. There are so many things we wish we could tell our guy best friends, but we don't want them to take anything we are saying the wrong way. So, this goes out to my guy friend.

Dear guy best friend,

First off, I just wanna say thank you. Thank you for always being there for me, thank you for always supporting my sometimes questionable decisions and thank you especially for bringing so much laughter into my life. Don't get me wrong, having girl best friends is amazing, but sometimes you really are the only person that gets me.

We have all these inside jokes that no one will ever understand. Most of these jokes started out as me trying to annoy you, or vice versa, but then eventually became something we say to each other on a daily basis. While all our other friends are tired of hearing the same joke every day, I still think it's hilarious, and I hope you do too.

Let's not forget the dozens of times when people ran up to us and said, "Oh my gosh! How long have y'all been dating?" My personal favorite is whenever I mention another guy's name someone will say they thought you were my boyfriend. While these conversations are very redundant, irritating and seem to never end, I'm glad you can just laugh about it instead of being weird and running away from our friendship.

So far, you've stuck by my side through it all. I know I may drive you crazy sometimes because let's be honest, I am a little crazy. I know that sometimes I make snippy comments about your choice in girls, but as long as you're happy then I'm happy. We have definitely gotten into our fair share of arguments, but the next day everything is okay again. I love this because it reassures me that you won't be going anywhere for a while.

I hope that I am half as good a friend to you as you have been to me, and if I wasn't, I know you wouldn't hesitant to inform me.

I cherish all of the times that we have spent together and I can't wait to see what the future holds for our friendship. Thank you again for never being intimidated by my constant mood swings and always intimidating boy's who may try to break my heart. You're like an older brother: annoying and overbearing, but someone I would never want to be without.

Love,

Your girl 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.
