Dear First Semester,

What a journey it has been. From dreadful hot days where I swore you could fry me on the sidewalk to shivering nights at the Library studying for finals, I feel like I’ve endured so much in only one short semester. I can’t say thank you enough for all of the things I have gotten to do in one very short semester. I know I said I hated you and were ready for you to be over last week during finals, but now I wish I had one more weekend with you and I didn’t have to be separated for almost a month.

Thanks for the football games that were so hot I thought they were unbearable. Those dreaded walks to the stadium in my heels seemed so terrible at the time but now I wish I could go back.

Thanks for the late night snacking trips with my friends. Now I know the best late night spots to grub at-all thanks to you.

Thanks for giving me friends that take care of me no matter what the situation is. I know these people will be my friends for life, and I am eternally grateful.

Thanks for all the ups and downs. Without them, life would be too easy. And college, well-college isn’t easy.

Thanks for the late nights in the library studying. I hated every minute of it, but I would never be able to be successful without them. I’m really sorry I complained endlessly about my major and my classes, I really am excited to see what I do with my degree.

Thanks for giving me 4 and a half months of enduring campus and all it has to offer. It reminds me daily of why I chose the school that I did. It is a simple reminder to keep working hard.

Thanks for all the memories. You went by way too fast and I miss you already. Although second semester won’t have football games, and the temperature will drop, I will still try and give it a chance. But thanks for giving me high expectations for next semester.

You’ll never be forgotten, miss you already.
