Thank you for everything.

An Open Letter To My First College Best Friend
Marisa Vanzant

Dear College Best Friend,

Thank you for coming up to me that day before our freshmen year had officially begun in the Education meeting. I did not know anyone there that day, and I sat alone in the back because I'd shown up late due to an honors meeting that overlapped with it. You heard in my introduction that I was a Secondary English Education major, and so were you. You came up to me and asked if we could sit together in the classes we would probably have together. To this day, we are closer than ever. As I'm writing this, just last night we had a Mario Party night.

You have had to pick me up more than once due to car trouble, and you have even picked up my fiance's van from Lewisburg when he had appendicitis. When I was in the hospital with him, you made sure I'd eaten, and you got us clean clothes from our apartment. You are literally always there for me when I need you, and you don't know how much that means to me. You even brought your cat over to save me from the mouse in my apartment. That's true friendship.

We ask each other for advice and guidance. I know you're always there to listen to me, and I hope that you know I am always here for you if and when you need anything at all. Our late night game nights and double dates are some of my favorite nights even though we stay up til midnight and I have to get up at 6 the next day. It's worth it.

Thank you for being there for me, helping me, listening to me, and picking me up with my wacky car problems. Thank you for waiting with me during John's surgery. Thank you for everything!

Sincerely,

Your College Best Friend

P.S. We do not take enough pictures together with just the two of us.

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.
