Loyalty Goes A Long Way

I just want to take a second and say thank you. Thank you for being that one person that will forever be in my corner. I’ve learned that no matter what I say or do you will always be there for me. This says a lot because I know I’m not the easiest to handle. I can go from 0-100 real fast and my emotions are always on a rollercoaster. Just know that I will always be there for you like you were there for me.

Loyalty is a big word in my dictionary these days because it’s very rare to come by. Loyalty is a decision and the choice and actions to continue need to be conscious ones. As always with anything to do with people-pleasing, it’s not about what we do but why we do it. I do it because in this cruel world that will live in we all need that one person.

It’s not about that person being your best friend or talking to them every day. It’s showing them that you care and have their back through the good and the bad. I always grew up on the saying when the “going gets tough the tough get going.” You can’t claim them when there on their good days when everyone is in there corner. It speaks more when your there on the worst days when they don’t believe in themselves you believe in them. You can pick them up because they know they have someone to get through it with.

I always thought I would find that person coming out of High School. That would be to picture perfect though. Having someone to share that transition with in the biggest time of your life. Especially for me and others who went out of state to pursue our dreams. Oh well I found you in College and it was at the perfect time. We experienced the crazy adventures of what this school has to offer and we survived. Till this day we have parted our ways but you have always been there.

Thank you, for being in my corner and expressing so much love and care for me. Just know even in the darkest hour I will be there to lift you up and get you through it all. We stick together and in the end will persevere.

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.
