Dear Long Distance Best Friend

Distance means so little when someone means so much

Dear Long Distance Best Friend

How are you doing? Yes, I know we just talked yesterday. I know what you had for lunch, and dinner, and your snacks in between. I know that you skipped your 8:30 class, you rebel. Yet that's not what I asked. I truly want to know how YOU are doing.

Since I moved, we don't talk nearly as much as I would like. You are my best friend, but sister would be a more appropriate term. It is so great that even after not seeing each other for a while, we are right where we left off as soon as we're together. Sadly, our time together is now short, and we don't get a chance to indulge ourselves in each others lives like we used to.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I wish we had more time. I wish we could spend every day together like we used to, and have five different conversations with each other at once. I wish I could be there to know how you're feeling. I wish I could be there to help you through the good and bad days, or to help motivate you when you need to get up but are in a deep sleep. I wish I could just be there, instead of simply being on the phone.

I know that changes like this in our lives are normal, and a part of growing up. I know that we are adults now, and that we have other things to worry about rather than who is coming over to who's house in the morning, or if we want to go to the beach or the mall. We can't fly by the seat of our pants anymore, I get that. I just want you to know that no matter how many miles are ever put between us, you will always be my best friend. I will always be just a phone call away, whether you need to talk to me for something important, or just need to tell me about how you dropped your sandwich right after you got it, and that you are traumatized.

I wish you nothing but the best in life. I can not wait to watch you grow and thrive, and be the person you are supposed to be.

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.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
