I Gained More Than Just A Friend From You

Why'd you put up with me

I Gained More Than Just A Friend From You
Favim.com

To the guy who put up with much more than he had to during his first year of college. Even though I was a year older than you, you never left me in the dark. You didn't need to care about what was going on in my life but some reason you did.

You understood what I was going through immediately after we met and took precedence in what I was doing and how I handled myself around others. You will never know, how much it meant for you to answer my late night texts, and then you would even come to sit with me after I had my panic attacks and ask if I wanted to talk about what was going on and if I didn't you respected just sitting there with me and giving me company. You made sure I was eating and sleeping when I was so stressed out at times from the classes, that I couldn’t even prioritize my own life. You dealt with having to sit up and having me cry all over your shoulder and most of those times I was crying. Most of the times I was crying was for no reason and just sat there hugging me, and reassured me that everything would get better. You never said I was over reacting, till I was done crying and had some kind of sugary snack in my hands and made me laugh about why I was crying. You took me out numerous times for late night meals to take my mind off the rest of the world. Those late nights were always the most memorable times even if I had been crying before hand.

I continuously tell you how much the time we spent together meant to me, and as each of our course loads gets heavier; I miss it a lot more. You will still never know how much that time really did mean. You were the one person I could always count on even at 4 am. You knew everything about me within a couple months, and back then I wouldn’t open up about myself to another living soul about what I had been going through. Thank you for always being the person I could count on even when you had better things to do those nights. Thank you for caring about me when I didn’t care enough about myself. Most of all thank you for all the great memories you gave me, even when I wasn’t having the best days and didn’t deserve to have you sitting with me at all.

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.
