Dear BGSU,

I would like to start off with an apology for the mean words that I said before I left. No, I do not hate you, in fact, I miss you. I know that this must be a little confusing, but hopefully you can forgive me because I would like a second chance.

When I left campus and said I am so happy to be leaving, I didn't mean it. I am counting down the days until I can see you again! I really do not mind your forever changing moods when you cannot decide if you want it to be sunny, rainy or freezing. I can put up with that. All of the squirrels that you insist on keeping can stay too.

I was thinking about our favorite spots and all of the good memories that we’ve shared. When I get back, the first place I'll be, is sitting on our tiki swings and laughing with all of our friends. Then in the morning, we can go and pick up coffee together at Dunkin Donuts and catch up since everyone will finally be back. I won't mind eating at the food court and dining halls. Nor will I care about having to cross my fingers daily hoping that I still have falcon dollars.

I know that when I come back I'll have some work to do and I'll be forced to attend classes, but I can put up with that too. I appreciate that you push me to be the best that I can be! After all, I've made a commitment and I think it's time that I see it through.

What I'm really trying to say is that I've messed up and I really didn't want to leave. I think this break has made us stronger. This year is going to be a great one for us. I have new goals and am so excited to begin this new start! Please don't judge me for how I have changed; I've grown too. I feel like I’ve transformed for the better and I'm confident that we are off to a great start.

I love you and I miss you BG! I will see you in a little over a month!

Xoxo,

Every BGSU Student
