One Last Goodbye

Goodbyes are the hardest when they're said a little too late

One Last Goodbye
Raeann LaCombe

Never thought you'd leave so soon. I can't even remember the last time that I talked to you. Yet, I remember what we talked about. I feel like I'm clutching onto the memories of you. I can't seem to let go, but I have to, there's nothing to even hold onto now.

Is it even possible to miss someone so much? Why does missing someone hurt as much as this hurts. There's days that it hurts to the point where all you want to do is lie in bed, head in your pillow, and cry all night long.

I wish you could come back for just one day. I would make that one day count for so much more than I would ever be able to imagine. We could sit there and reminisce in the good ol' days, when we were young, wild, and happy. What I would do to see a smile on your face. I just want to be able to tell you stories about how I'm hiding the boogeyman in basement and he's waiting for his daily 10 pound steak served rare.

You taught me what it's like to be a big sister to a little brother before I even had one. You were the closest thing I had to a little brother until mom gave me one. I should've never lost touch with you when I moved away. You meant so much to me, you still mean so much to me. I know I never told you this, but I was so proud of you when you graduated and when I thought you were walking down the right path. You could've been such an amazing person.

I never even got to say goodbye. Nothing is harder than not being able to say one last goodbye, especially since it's the final goodbye. Well, I guess here it is. Good bye, I hope you rest easy up there in heaven. I love you, always have and always will.

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.
