To The Best Friend I Never Saw Coming

Dear best friend,

I never expected to meet someone like you. Someone who made my average life bright and beautiful. Thank you for endless laughter. Whenever you sense I'm in a bad mood, rather than forcing me to talk it out, you try to make me feel better - usually with jokes and terrible memes. You always know the right thing to say to put a smile on my face and to make my stomach hurt from laughter.

Thank you for being there at all hours of the day. Sometimes when it seems like no one cares, you always make a point to show that you do. I'm often afraid to bother people with my problems, but you're always more than willing to talk to me. You rationalize everything I say and talk sense into me when I'm being ridiculous, and start overthinking. Even if I don't realize i'm not okay, somehow you always do, and you always manage to give comfort and make me laugh even in the roughest of storms.

Thank you for adventures - our late night steak and shake runs have changed my life. I can always count on you to be up for anything, and I know it'll always be a blast.

Thank you for encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone. It may take some persuasion but you always convince me to try new things and see things from a different perspective.

Thanks for being an all-around great-human. Your generosity is inspiring. You take the word kind to a whole new level. I strive to one day to be half as nice as you are.I hope one day you can see yourself as I see you.

Thank you for never judging me and my appearance. I know you'll never judge me for eating a ton of food because I can count on you to order way more. Whenever you see me in my pajamas or without make up, you never make a comment about how sloppy I look, which means more to me than you know.

Thank you for supporting me. You always encourage me to follow my dreams and to aim high. Nothing seems unreachable when I'm talking about it with you.

Thank you for your constant positivity. You always remind me to stay strong when things aren't looking too great because the storm will always pass. You always help me imagine a more positive outcome and stop me from letting my mind wander to the worst case scenario.

Thank you for sticking by my side all of this time. I know i'm a lot to handle, and I'm sure I annoy the hell out of you all the time.Every single 4 hour phone call, facetime, always means alot to me. Whether I'm crying my eyes out, or just lonely and need a friend, you're always there. So thanks for putting up with me and never complaining, even when I make it hard for you.

I appreciate you and our sarcastic friendship, even if I don't say it all the time, i do. Without you my life would be void of memes, and a really amazing friend. It means so much to me knowing we'll be friends forever and you're always just a call or text away. So thank you for taking me by surprise and breaking down my walls. I didn't know i needed someone like you until i had you.

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.

winter

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.
