The Truth About Having A Guardian Angel

A letter to the person I carry with me everyday.

Dear Angel,

Quite some time has passed since you left us, it's honestly hard to believe that you are gone. The one thing that I regret is not telling you how much I appreciated you. I never got the chance to say thank you for everything you did for me.

I was so lucky to have such an admirable person in my life for the amount of time that I did. During that time you taught me things that you probably didn't even know you were teaching me. You taught me how to be strong during the difficult times. you taught me how to be brave when all I was scared. You taught me how to love harder than I ever thought was possible.

Although you're not here to see all that I have done, I know that you are proud of me. You always encouraged me to do what I love, that's why everything that I am doing, I am doing for you. You were one of my biggest supporters. You were one of my best friends. You were the anchor that kept this family grounded.

Although some things are different now, the one thing that remains the same is your presence. Although you can not physically be here with us, I know you are spiritually here. I know you are watching over us as we all make important steps in our lives. I know you are rooting for us when we decide to take the road less traveled upon.

I'll admit, some days are harder than others and I'm still learning how to cope with you being gone. I know that you are always by my side helping me get through those tough moments, and I thank you for that. Losing you was one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through but it made me a stronger person.

Thank you for leaving a lifelong impact on me. Thank you for being the person you were. Thank you for always loving me no matter what. I am so lucky to have such an amazing person as my guardian angel.

I love you, I miss you, and I can't wait to see you again one day.

Love always,

Your biggest fan

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.
