Here's to you, College Student.
All of your late nights will not be in vain. The amount of coffee, ramen, and late-night snacks will keep you going, at least until you finish that chapter. All of the times you hit snooze this morning just goes to show that your body is still recovering from being such a total bad ass yesterday, that it just needs an extra few minutes to rekindle all of its genius for another day of being awesome. For all of your early mornings that demand a cup of coffee, and your long days that demand a nap (or two) will one day pay off.
Here's to you, College Student.
For your unweilding determination and your ability to survive midterm after midterm. For all the sighs of relief when you see the grade on that essay you submitted at 11:59 p.m. without proof reading, and for all the tears you shed on the ones that you spent hours perfecting. For all of the tests you ace after studying for hours, all the pop quizes you pray before, and the homework assignments you have somehow successfully muddled through. For all of the note cards, practice tests, and pages of notes that you have committed to memory, you are a super human.
Here's to you, College Student.
For all of the times your student discount made your bank account feel a little better about the thousands it hands over in tuition every year. For all of the textbooks you purchased, the fees you paid, and for everything in between that left you questioning whether or not you would need that second job. For every time you said "I shouldn't spend money" but went out anyway, and for all the times you said "I want to go out" but saved up for that text book instead, you are an amazing being.
Here's to you, College Student.
For making so many phenomenal memories, you lost count of them during your freshman year. For your ability to make friends in unlikely places. For every car ride, high five, and late night talk that turned into a lasting bond. For all of the times you cried about boys, or the girl you didn't have the courage to ask out, or the best friend that turned into something more. For all of the crazy memories you will remember forever, and the even crazier ones you won't remember tomorrow, you are more than just another college student to so many people.
Here's to you, College Student.
For your ability to balance it all, and somehow still have some sanity left over at the end of the day. For your skillful existence that can juggle being a student, best friend, coworker, sibling, teammate, and roommate. For every class, practice, study session, and rehearsal that may or may not have left you questioning your life choices and major several times. For all of the overwhelming schedules that left you craving the weekends, and for all the amazing weekends that left you dreading Mondays, you are talented beyond your knowledge.
Here's to you, you beautiful, sleep deprived, caffeine-fueled, knowledge-filled, hardworking, College Student, because you are without a doubt going to do great things.
