A Letter To The Best Friend That Was Taken Too Soon

All of us have that one person that can not be replaced. That person will forever hold a place in your heart, no matter how early in life they left you. This is a letter to all of those we love, that left us too soon.

I miss you

I miss you more than you will ever know. This feeling grows stronger every day, and it is never ending. Most of the time, it still doesn't register that you're gone. I feel like you will just come home, and it will be like you were away on a long trip. I can't make myself believe that you are actually gone, because how does the person you love most just leave? How do you let that go?

I love you

My love for you is still growing, and will continue to do so. You being gone makes me cherish the 16 years that I had with you even more. I will talk about you, and the memories we had. I will always want more time with you, but I was lucky enough to spend my whole childhood with you as my best friend.

I hope you're proud

This is one of the most difficult things for me to think about. I know that I have done things that would make you both proud, and disappointed - hopefully more proud. You have seen me take several steps forward, and even some steps back. You have watched as I go through my senior year, getting ready to take on my future. You have been through the guys, and the break ups. I am just hoping that you more proud than anything. I hope that I am meeting every expectation that you hold for me.

I simply want to thank you for being the best friend, and Meme that a girl could ask for. I miss you dearly.

I love you today, tomorrow, and always.

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.
