To My No Matter What People

There are best friends and then there are your No-Matter-Whats

To My No Matter What People
Anna Jordan

They say there are no guarantees in life, which is true but for me not the case. In my life I can guarantee that if I were to call either of my best friends they would answer. You see I got deeply inspired to write this about my friends when I saw a post on Instagram that really hit home.

"Everybody has a home team: It's the people you call when you get a flat tire or when something terrible happens. It's the people who, near or far, know everything that's wrong with you and love you anyways. These are the ones who tell you their secrets, who get themselves a glass of water without asking when they're at your house. These are the people who cry when you cry. These are your people, your middle-of-the-night, no-matter-what people."

I could name story after story about my friends and I, unfortunately for you all I am going to most between the few of us.

So this is for you Anna and Rylie. I feel like we go through this everyday because between the three of us we are a very big mess but we wouldn't be us without that mess. I know I can laugh and joke with you guys about some random I met over the weekend and there be no judgment. I know that when any one of us says I want Starbucks it really isn't a suggestion it's more of a 'Are we getting in Fern, Camy or Allen' question. We have our moments of wild and crazy but in the end we keep each other grounded. I act dumb for whatever reason one or the other is going be like 'Yeah no, not happening', and that works each way for the three of us.

I cannot thank either of you enough for loving me everyday even though I am sorta an odd ball. I know that when we are all old and spread across this world we are going to look back on our time together and just die from laughter, I mean for goodness sake we do that now over something that could've happened 5 minutes ago, 5 hours ago or 5 days ago.

I love that when any one of us is mildly stressed (all the time) we just are like dude lets go on the swings and we end up swinging and singing at the top of our lungs what ever song we both know. I love that we can sit down and help each other do homework, unless it is math then that is all you Anna!

You two are unforgettable no matter what day, or time, I know and can trust that you are going to be there and that is something not many get the chance to experience in life, I am so grateful to you both every day.

Let's raise our glasses to our no matter whats because in the end through wild football games and lazy nights I know that you will always be there.

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.
