My Happy Ending Made Me Forget My Happy Middle

Dear Friend,

I know it's been a while since you have hear from me and I wish that I had some sort of legitimate excuse like I was exploring the world or finishing grad school, but I don't. I know that we have lost touch, but I want you to know that I still think about you often.

Our lives have taken us down different paths.. Some across the state, some across the country, others across the world. Me? Well, I'm still in the same place, which almost makes this worse.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not trying harder to keep in touch. Sorry for moving on with my life and not taking you with me. Sorry for choosing my new life over our friendship. I'm sorry for not being a better friend. I'm sorry for finding my happy ending and forgetting that you were the reason for my happy middle.

I hope you know that you helped shape me into the person that I am today. You taught me how to have fun, to find balance, the let go and to be myself. I hope you know that I life is treating you well. I hope you still love with your whole heart and stand up for your beliefs like I never had the guts to do.

I hope you smile when you hear one of our songs just like I still do. I hope that you remember our late night drives, early breakfast and study dates, and endless hours of laughter. I hope that you have achieved every goal that you had ever set for yourself. I hope that you have an amazing support system.

Above all, I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for moving on and forgetting about you and I hope you know how much I still love you.

Love always,

Your long lost friend

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.

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.
