To the Best Friend that Saved Me

To the best friend that saved me,

Thank you.

Thank you for being there for me when no one else was.

When it felt like the world was crashing down around me, and I had no one to turn to, you were the one that reminded me I wasn't alone.

Thank you for being my partner in crime

Some would say we may be bad influences on each other. I am not one of those people. I happen to appreciate being convinced to skip class to go get tattoos and going on fried pickle hunts.

Thank you for never judging me

Thank you for accepting all my weird quirks and tendencies instead of judging me for being so odd. And thanks for being odd with me and not judging me when I told you about my Twilight phase. It means more to me than you'll ever know.

Thank you for being my other (and sometimes opposite) half

Thank you for knowing when to be a proper adult and when to be a lunatic. I don't think I'll ever be able to judge when to be one or the other.

Thank you for reminding me of who I am and what I deserve

When I don't have confidence or faith in myself, it's superb to have you around as a cheerleader. I'd probably make terrible choices for myself if it weren't for you.

Thank you for saving me

Although it's probably the cheesiest thing I'll ever say, I can't put into words how grateful I am that I'm able to experience a friendship like ours. Thank you for showing me what it means to be more than just a best friend, and for showing me how to be excited about simply existing. Thank you for the three hour long Skype calls and for the coffee deliveries when I feel like I'm going to rip my hair out at work. Thank you for participating in our exclusive little bookclub and putting an emphasis on words that make us chuckle. I love you; thank you for everything. ~Jeff and Louise 5eva~

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.
