1. When I told you that you could never be replaced, I wasn't lying.
Sure, you see other people constantly on my Snapchat stories, you see me Instagramming pictures with my sorority sisters, and you see me constantly tweeting my roommate, but you also saw me transform from the 14 year old who was obsessed with Ke$ha and had a feather in her hair, into the person I am today. You saw me at my strangest, and you still never stopped loving me. My college friends may also be my best friends, but you know you'll always be my number one.
2. I miss you like crazy.
When I told you I wanted to pack you up and take you to college with me, I was seriously contemplating actually kidnapping you and forcing you to come. You have no idea how much of a roller coaster college truly is, and I wish more than anything that you were here, holding my hand through the ups, downs, and round and rounds of this ride. But in a sense, you kind of are. There are pictures of us everywhere in my dorm room. You basically watch me sleep. It's fine.
3. “Are ya'll like, dating?"
No. Yes. Maybe. Define dating? Cause if you mean two people that really like each other and enjoy each other's company- people who go out together and laugh whenever they text each other, hold hands and hug a lot, then yes. But if you mean someone I want to potentially marry, still yes…except she's my soul sister. And you can't marry your sister. It's complicated.
4. Long distance sucks, but we've totally survived.
For most people, long distance friendships are a burden and super tough to follow through with. But BFF, we are not most people. Sure, sometimes we were both a little out of sync. Different schedules and lives will occasionally get in the way. However, we both know that we are in a committed long-term best friend relationship, and we made a vow and pinky swore to be in each other's lives forever. We don't break pinky promises.
5. Thank you.
Seriously. Thank you. Even though I don't live ten minutes away from you anymore, and I can't just hug you whenever I want, sometimes I don't even feel like I'm far away from you at all. You are always the first person I call when I'm in the midst of an emotional break down. We are constantly sharing links and tagging each other on Facebook. We send selfies to each other all day, every day. I ask you what I should wear before I go out. Whenever we Facetime or Skype, I feel like we are in the same exact room (remember when I asked you put nail polish on my left hand and totally forgot that we were nowhere near one another?). College has been crazy, but you've never failed to be there for me when I needed you.
6. Three words, eight letters.
You are the epitome of a perfect friend: you have the kindest soul, the purest heart, you're super weird, and you have really cute clothes. I'm not giving up on you, ever. I love you.
