A Thank You To All My Acquaintances

For the "friends" that can no longer acknowledge you in the grocery store.

This is a letter for the people who decided that being friends with you just isn't worth their time. A little note dedicated to the many friendships that often times turn out to be too one-sided. To the people who used to talk daily, but stopped responding for no reason - this is our thank you note.

Thank you for being the one to end our friendship. I certainly never would have, and the one-sided relationship would have gone on for longer than it needed to. If you're like me, you tend to only see the good in people. You try your best to discount their flaws and love people for who they are no matter what: that's almost a good thing.

But rose colored glasses are only as good as the person they're looking at.

So thank you for being our worldly glasses, and seeing the end even when I was blind sided. This one's for you. As one-sided as this friendship was, don't think for a second there was nothing to be learned. I learned so much from you. So,

Thank you for all the nights we spent laughing until we peed ourselves, it gave me good memories to look back on.

And thank you for the nights I spent alone wondering why you decided to stop making those memories, it taught me that a lot of things don't last forever.

Thank you for the time I invested into listening to your doubts, your fears, and your sad thoughts - and the very minimal amount of times we spent listening to mine, even when my thoughts were deafening. It taught me to deal with problems on my own.

Thank you for all the times you had to be prettier and smarter than me. It taught me to believe in myself even when I'm not the best at something.

Thank you for constantly talking about yourself. It taught me that problems can't be fixed through complaining.

But mostly, thank you for turning away from our friendship. It made me stronger, and taught me to never make the same mistake again.

Thank you for leaving. I wrote this for you x.

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.
