An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

To the person who lives 300 miles away and still continues to be my rock.

An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Haley Colton

To my person,

I truly believe God places specific people in your life at just the right time, and you are the perfect example. The greatest of friends have come and gone out of my life, but for some insane reason, you're still here. I'm so blessed to have deserved an amazing person like you in my life.

I could go on and on about all the positive impacts you've had on my life. You have the biggest and purest heart I have ever seen, and it's the reason why you love the people in your life so deeply. I have never watched someone work so hard to get to where they want to be.

You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. You loved me when I was hard to love. You listened to me when I didn’t have a voice and let me cry to you when I was broken. Most importantly, you never gave up on me; that is special.

It's also very special to find another person who is the spitting image of yourself. It almost freaks me out when I think about how similar we are. Stubborn, too caring, extremely spontaneous and full of so much love and passion. We're each other's worst enemies, but I can't imagine being so brutally honest with anyone else.

You know me better than I know myself sometimes. You know what makes me die with laughter and the silly little things that make me so mad. You can tell through a text message when I am upset and then continue to do everything in your power to make me feel better. You keep me motivated on those days when I'm extremely unconfident and all I want to do is be lazy. You understand my little weird quirks and think I'm the most tired person in the world but you continue to stay by my side.

Wherever our futures take us, I know you'll be in mine every step of the way, and I wouldn't have it be any different. You fill my life with so much happiness, and I live for the moments when I get to spend short time periods with my long distance best friend.

You are the epitome of a beautiful human being. I hope that every person in this world has someone like you in their lives.

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.
