To The Girl That Used To Be Like My Sister

At some point, you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart, but not in your life.

To The Girl That Used To Be Like My Sister

I wish we could go back to how we were. We go back to freshmen year and we bonded over Michael Kors. What happened? As the years went by, we got closer and closer. We were sisters. You were the one I could talk to about anything. I met your loving family Thanksgiving of 2014. I felt part of the family. From sleepovers and several hockey games, we were inseparable. You decided to study a semester in California and I couldn't have been happier for you. I missed seeing you around on campus. I missed having you near. I decided to visit you in California and had the best time, mainly because I was with you.

Your family was there for me when I got into my first car accident. You were there for me when I moved out of my apartment and when two friends walked out of my life. Your parents allowed me to move in. We did Spanish homework together and you slept in my room when you had your own. You got me hooked on House and we would have our Netflix dates. You took me to the gym and pushed me to my limits. We saw Zac Brown together and had many summer days tanning in the yard. I wouldn't trade that summer for anything else. We went to Lake Placid together with your mom and met up with mine. We relaxed in the hot tub and you made me die running three miles. We went to dinner, drank some wine, and we danced to some bachata music. You were an honorary Colombian as I was an honorary Italian. Your family was mine and mine was yours.

I look back at our relationship and there wasn't a time where I didn't feel like we were sisters. We told our friends and they believed us. We did everything sisters would do. We joked saying we would be each other's Maid of Honor. You would borrow my eyeshadow/primer and I wouldn't care. We shared lipstick and clothes. What was mine was yours and what was yours was mine.

I try to think back and see where we went wrong but it hurts too much. I don't want to think back on our past cause I'll end up crying. I don't want to think that I was going to graduate with my sister, cause I'm not. I lost her. I don't want to think that we were going to go on a cruise together this summer. Not anymore. I moved out of your house and I told you how I felt. I didn't get a response. That hurt me the most and was a validation that we will never be how we once were.

You found your Mr. Right and I couldn't be happier for you both. I just hope that you both don't forget about the friends that were there for you prior. The ones that were close to you. I wish you nothing but the best in your studies and future. I hope all your dreams come true. Know I am always praying for you and your family. I thank you for all the memories we shared and please know I will cherish them forever.

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.
