To My College Friends, Thank You For Always Being There For Me
Emily Huckabee

To My College Besties,

I can remember the first time I stepped foot on campus and immediately started wondering how in the world I was going to make friends in a sea on 30,000 other students. I didn't know where to even begin. Just like any other college freshman, I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to find MY people. That close group of people that you always see on movies that share pants or something like that. For me, college was a fresh start. I knew I wouldn't be able to stay in my comfort zone if I wanted to branch out and make new friends.

But I did find my people. Oh, so many people that I can't even begin to imagine not being in my life. From sorority sisters to coworkers and even to friends that I made in class. You have all impacted my life so beautifully and this letter is to all of you. I love each and every one of you, and I know that life would be so dull without y'all in it.

So many times in the past year, I was an emotional mess. No matter how many times I fell apart, y'all were always there to pick me up and hold me together ever time. Sometimes it was just giving me advice and telling me that everything happened for a reason. And other times it meant staying in and binge-watching Netflix. No matter what, you guys did your best to be there for me no matter what.

Y'all were always there to give me advice whenever I didn't know what to do. I don't think I made a single decision without running it by you guys first. You knew me well enough to know what was best for me and what was not. You helped lead me down the right path and gave me the strength and courage to do things that I never could've imagined were possible.

Self-confidence is always hard to come by. Y'all are always the first to shoot out compliments and boost up my confidence no matter what. When I'm stressed out about school or just life you know just what to say to make me feel like it is all going to be OK. And whenever I get my heart broken, you always tell me how I'm too good for him anyway and that I deserve better. So thank you for raising me up whenever I feel down.

I am known to make the most annoying "dad" jokes. But, thank you for always finding them funny and making me feel like I could be the next famous stand-up comedian. You don't know how good it makes me feel to be able to put a smile on the faces of people around me.

Thank you for never judging me. No matter what it is that I am going through y'all are right there with me. You never make me feel bad for anything that I do and always support me through the decisions that I make. I can honestly say that I was so blessed to have friends that uplift me instead of tear me down.

Last but not least, THANK YOU for being you and for choosing to accept me for who I am. Without y'all, I would not be the person I am today. I cannot wait to see how our friendships will grow, and I am so excited to start making many more amazing memories through the seasons of our lives. I know that we will be friends for a very, very long time.

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.
