Hey it's me... three weeks later

An Open Letter To All Of My Unopened Messages

First off, I would like to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not responding, or responding in a one worded, clearly disinterested tone. I'm sorry for being inattentive, I really do care.

It's not that I'm ignoring you or any of the sorts, though I know it must seem like that. I really do value your friendship and attempts of talking to me. I thank you a lot for taking the time out of your day to sit down, think of me, and send me a text. It really makes me feel valued.

As for not responding, again I'm sorry. I could sit here and type up a million reasons why I don't respond in a timely manner, but they would all seem like excuses. The most I can do wholeheartedly is apologize. I really do mean to respond and hold a conversation, but I become distracted. Distracted by work, by school, or I simply zone out. Life gets ahold of me and by the time that I process I didn't respond, it's way too late to respond. So it really is like I grab my phone, text someone, and throw it across the room. (See, sounds like an excuse).

Beyond that, there's also times I get caught up in my head. I end up isolating myself from everyone and the simple idea of talking to someone tosses me in a loop and I freak out. For that, I am sorry again. It's not that I don't want to talk to you, I promise. I just can't push myself to do it.

At the end of the day, I would like to reiterate that I sincerely am sorry for being the worst texter in the world. I'm working on improving my texting skills, so please work me with. Also, again, thank you for dealing with my horrible texting and I do appreciate it.

Your friend,
Amber

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.
