Dear Former Best Friend,

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for everything. Based on knowing you, I'm almost completely sure that you read that in a sarcastic tone; I'm actually genuinely serious about it. Thank you for who you are, what you did, and everything you taught me.

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today. I've gotten out of my comfort zone and I've done some crazy things. I'm sure I'd have a lot more "wish I would've"'s instead of "I'm glad I did's" in life.

Thank you for all those amazing memories. You know, the ones we can't tell our parents about because we'd get into so much trouble? Yeah, those ones. Staying out too late, partying, random photo shoots, memories. I loved it all. Being able to actually be me an not worrying about it because you were equally as weird as I am (if not even more weird).

Thank you for all those fights we had. Even the petty ones that were over what movie to watch or where we would sleep. Those fights still defined us individually and as friends. They allowed us to grow both as individuals, and as friends. The things was, we'd never stay mad at each other because there was always something we had to tell one another. What she said, or what he did. There was always something we would want to tell each other that we could not or didn't want to tell anyone else.

You were always there for me. Through good and bad. I could always count on you. Always. No matter what the situation. You were always the first person I would call no matter what they situation was.

And then I lost you...

Losing you was a life lesson in itself. I learned how dependent we, as humans, are on each other. It reminded me how important friendships are, and how quickly they can be broken. I learned that people come and go in life; you need to be prepared for those sudden and dramatic changes. Even though we never talk or see each other outside of the occasional run-in, I'll never forget you. I mean, you were my best friend for forever, right? I'll cherish our memories, even our fights.

We obviously weren't meant to be best friends for forever, but I hope all of your hopes, dreams, and wishes come true. I hope you accomplish all you want, and find absolute happiness in life. I hope you find a new best friend can fill every need you have and more. Although we are no longer best friends, I wish only the best for you for all of your future endeavors. I hope to someday see you soon and have an ihop date and gush about everything and anything just to catch up over coffee.

Love always, xoxo,

The one you use to call best 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.

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.
