You're A True Friend

An open letter to one of my best friends.

Hannah Montana once sang the lyrics "You're a true friend you're here till the end. You pull me aside
when something ain't right talk with me now and into the night, til it's alright again. You're a true friend". And this friend is one of the best friends that I could ever ask for. She is my "wife", my "sister" and my ground. I go to her for anything at anytime and she is always there for me. She may do the typical things that any best friend, or at least a good friend, would do: but she has been here for me since the sixth grade and has not left since.

Dear true friend,

You are my other soulmate. You are the other half to me that knows what is wrong and how to fix it. You are the one who can tame my anger, sadness, and everything in between. My life would not be the same without you.

We do not talk to each other often anymore, nor do we see each other nearly as much as before. But it is said that real friends can go through months without talking to each other, and will remain just as close. And with you, I think it is most definitely true. Thank you for always having a shoulder for me to lean on or someone to vent to when I am upset.

I cannot imagine a world without our shenanigans and machinations. I love our typical white-girl Starbucks run and our random adventures. I miss our sleepovers and making posters with you. But I know that those experiences will have always brought us closer.

You are one of the closest, and best, friends that I have had the chance to grow up with. Whether it being you keeping me in line or finding ways to support me or cheer me up regardless of the circumstances, you always know the right things to say and do. You and I can talk for hours about silly little things or go to Plaster Fun Time, paint, and do subtle things. You are a one-of-a-kind best friend who has been there for me since the beginning of middle school. Then, we tied the knot in eight grade, making you my "wife".

I can never, and will never, be able to find another soulmate like you. Miley said it best as Hannah Montana: you're a true friend.

Love always,

your sister, wife, and weird-ass friend.

No matter what the distance is, no matter who they befriend later in life, a true friend will always stick by your side. They are your best friend, your weirdest companion, and often times: your other soulmate (if not your only soulmate). They are the friends who pull you aside when something isn't right and talks with you all night. And nobody can ever replace that true friend; because they are here until the very end.

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!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
