We have all lost important people in our lives, even sometimes those we thought would never walk through that door. More often than not, people choose to resent those who left their lives, but seeing those situations in a different light gives much more satisfaction. To those who came into my life and left, thank you.

Thank you for walking into my life and making unforgettable memories with me, thank you for filling pages of a chapter in this book and thank you for serving a purpose at one point in my life when you were meant to be there. I can't bring myself to be anything but thankful for the fact that you were put in my life at a certain point for a reason. You all have helped mold me into the person I am today and all I can be is grateful for that.

Thank you for highlighting those who were meant to stay in my life and stick by my side and for leaving sooner rather than later before I had already built my life with you in it to only realize myself that you were just temporary. As you closed doors on me, I had yet to see that they would be opened again by the permanent and more worthy people who walked into my life after you walked out. As I am more than grateful for those who filled the void that you left, I'm even more grateful for you, the ones who came into my life and left, because you helped me learn who would be there by my side and who would serve a more important purpose in my life. So with that, thank you,for making room for bigger and better things and people to enter my life.

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.
