A Letter To My Best Friends

You were always my light.

A Letter To My Best Friends
Kaytlin Heck

To my friends that saw me through my hard times,

If anyone knows me, they know the type of person that I am: happy, outgoing, and positive. However, just like the seasons, suddenly I changed. Instead of the happy, outgoing, and positive person that I was, I found myself sad, overthinking, and negative.

This wasn’t me, and everyone around me knew that. But for some reason, I couldn’t find it in me to change, however, my friends were the light at the end of the dark tunnel I was running through.

So, thank you. Thank you for always being here for me through a period of time in which I couldn’t find myself. Thank you for not only loving me on my good days, but thank you for loving me even more on my bad days.

To the friends that forced me to go out when I wanted to stay home, thank you.

To the friends that listened to everything that I had to say, thank you.

To the friends that were there to make me laugh, when I so desperately wanted to cry, thank you.

To the friends that were always there with countless amounts of advice, thank you.

To the friends that forced my lazy self to get out of bed and go to the gym, thank you.

To the friends that saw me at my worst, and still continued to stay, thank you.

To the friends that saw the potential that I had, and forced me to reach that potential, thank you.

I continue each and everyday to work on myself, and with the help of my friends, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I will admit everyday isn’t easy, but my friends never let me feel like I am alone. I couldn’t be more thankful for my friends who love me and continue to love me on my good days and my bad days.

The easiest thing my friends could’ve done was give up on me, and instead, they did the complete opposite. For that, I am forever thankful.

I love 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.
