It's okay that we're not close anymore

Dear Everyone I Was Once Close With,

I don't hate you, I promise. No matter what it be that brought us apart, a falling out, just becoming distant and growing apart, physical separation, any of that. None of that has given me cause to dislike you, nor could I ever- because if you were once close to me, that alone qualifies you to have a reserved space in my heart. I hope you don't hate me either. In fact, chances are I'm still proud of your accomplishments and cheering you on from afar! Just because we don't talk as much as we used to doesn't mean that I can't support you!

With that being said, I don't need to cheer you on from afar. I can cheer you on right by your side if you want me to. I can still support you, I can still listen to you, I can still try to help you with anything you need, and I'll do it all happily and willingly. I'm only a text, call, message, conversation away. I may have wronged you, you may have wronged me, no matter we can work through it if you're willing, because I'm always open to it. If you don't want to, that's entirely understood too. Just know there's no hard feeling.

If I was close to you a while ago and we've distance since then, know that I am a changed person. Life happens and changes everyone, and that may have been the very reason we grew apart. That's okay! If you ever want to catch up and talk for a little bit, I'd love to. I'm still me, just a grown and happier me.

Everyone I've been close with, there isn't enough space in a short letter to address each and every one of you individually, otherwise that would make it a very, very long letter. But I do still keep you dear to me, and if you want, I would be more than happy to catch up or just talk for a minute anytime.

Sincerely,

Someone who still loves and appreciates you lots.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
