A Letter to Old Friends

As you grow older, go to new schools, farther away from your home, your old high school friends begin to drift away slowly. Of course, it all really depends, you could always keep that friendship burning, as if you truly wish to be friends with that person, all it takes is communication here and there. This is a letter to those friends whom I have grown apart from, as I have made new ones where I study now.

Dear old friends, remember in our high school years? When we used to say we would be best friends for life, or always there for each other? Boy that has changed... I don't think we meant to drift apart, despite the closeness of our friendship in our high school years, it happens to everyone. There are always going to be friendships that you basically only have because you see that person every day, you don't exactly see each other outside of school, except for those occasions where preferred friends were not able to hang out. Which sounds horrible, but most of us know its true. I loved being close with those whom this letter is directed to, I cherish our memories, our jokes & laughs, and I can promise you I will never forget them ever. Friendships in high school either last a lifetime or last a few remaining years, it is just the sad truth. There are times I miss the people whom I have drifted from, who I don't communicate with whatsoever because the friendship was seemingly finished just as we threw our caps into the air on graduation. It just means maybe our friendship was temporary, which is basically true. We saw each other every day, we were essentially thrown into friendships, not expecting what would come from them.
Thank you for those years though, I wish all of those people a great life, with more people whom they will have great memories with, and the best of luck to their futures.

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.
