There aren't enough thank you's in the world.

Today is Father's Day or any special occasion in which you are celebrated. I know that it is a special occasion, celebrating you because we do so rarely. But you should be celebrated more than rarely.

I could start off by saying thank you, but there wouldn't nearly be enough.

I know that we aren't always on the best of terms, we don't always see eye to eye, and we fight more than anything. However, with all of that being said, that doesn't change my love for you. I love you so much that it scares me to know that one day you won't always be here.

While you've always been hard on me, you've always wished the best success for me. You might be super strict but that's because you fear to lose your little girl. You've always pushed me to do my best and celebrated all of my successes. I wouldn't be the person I am today without you.

I've watched you love hard and fully, and I've watched your loss. I've been there through the riches and the poorest. We've survived all the highs and lows, together, me and you.

You've shown me what it was like to truly love someone, and you've never let me settle for less. You're always honest with me, even if its sometimes something I don't want to hear. You've taught me how to be independent, open-minded, and sincere, even if it comes back to bite you in the butt sometimes.

You've held my hand through all my failures and reminded me of how proud you are, even when it doesn't feel like it. You have always had my best interests in mind, no matter what.

No matter the case, I am always so proud to be your daughter. I am proud of the man you are, the man who raised me. I'm sorry I don't tell you enough or show how appreciative I am.

Thank you for instilling in me the importance of hard work. Thank you for teaching me to work with my hands and not to be afraid to get dirty. Thank you for never letting me think I'm not able to achieve my dreams.

But most of all, thank you for being my dad and loving me unconditionally. I know I don't say it enough, so I hope this can be a constant reminder of how proud and thankful I am for you, and also how much I love you. I promise to always be your little girl.

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.

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.
