My Love,

I can't believe the time has come where we part our separate ways. I start my journey in a completely new place without the person I have been experiencing all my "news" with. I cannot begin to understand what my life is going to be like a thousand miles away from you. I am going to go from being with you almost everyday, carrying out our daily routine, to relying on video chat in order to be able to see you.

Life with you has been amazing. You helped me grow as a person, take chances, and most importantly you taught me how to love someone unconditionally. I became a better version of myself through being with you, thank you. You have been there for me through all the ups and downs of my senior year, from helping me study to hearing me complain, you were my person. You are my person. Taking on this transition I need my person, and I am thankful you are willing to be there through it all with me, no matter the outcome.

It's hard to leave you behind. Especially your family. I love your family. They welcome me as their own and never make me uncomfortable in any situation. It's nice to be shown off as "your girl" to them and all of your friends. I have never wanted to be the girlfriend your friends hate and I am thankful I am not one of them. I know I have taken up your time, and claimed you every weekend, but I hope you're looking back and thinking you wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else but sleeping next to me.

I am going to miss waking up in the middle of the night to you next to me. No matter the arguments we have had or the disagreements, we have always been strong enough to get through them and move on. That is what I like the most about you. The faith and potential you see in me and our relationship has carried me through the good and the bad. I will miss you like crazy.

Doing all of the lasts, such as your last time sleeping over, last time holding me and the last time kissing me, I realize the love I have for you. I promise to never forget you, no matter what the future holds for us. I know we will never let misery get the best of us, and that we will see the positives in whatever out come God has for us. We have talked about a future together for so long, and I hope that it happens because I would love to grow old with you, have kids with you, and see the world with you. Just know you will always be my first love. This journey will be hard, but we got this. I promise to only call you crying about three times a week.

Love you so much,

Your Girlfriend

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.
