I was so worried that my roommate story was going to be a nightmare like everyone else says it was going to be. I was scared that you were going to be an awful person that took my stuff, locked me out of my room, and didn't talk to me unless you were yelling at me. That wasn't the case at all. NOT EVEN CLOSE. So there are a few things that I wanted to thank you for as we leave each other after a not-so-terrible year together.

Thank you:

1. For being just as excited to meet me as I was to meet you before school started.

2. For being a friendly face that I could sit with in our common classes.

3. For helping me with homework that I didn't understand when you understood it completely.

4. For asking me permission before you did ANYTHING in the room even though I never cared otherwise.

5. For inviting me to go with you to dinner when you knew that my friends were busy and I hadn't ate.

6. For being so hard to be mad at even though I could never think of a single time that I was the least bit mad at you.

7. For not hating me when I do ridiculous things in the room.

8. For texting me with an inside joke during class when I am literally sitting inches away from you.

9. For laughing at my jokes even when they aren't funny at all.

10. For getting me involved in the clubs that you knew about and I didn't.

11. For allowing all my crazy friends to shack in our room all the time.

12. For staying up with me and watching Friends over and over again.

13. For liking all the music that I am always blasting in the room.

14. For being there for me when my boyfriend and I broke up.

15. For not judging me for changing with the door on.

16. For watching American Horror Story with me when the new season comes on TV.

17. For rushing with me in the fall even though I know you didn't want to.

18. For letting me eat your food when we are running low and that is all that is left.

19. For procrastinating with me when we feel it is necessary.

20. For bathing frequently so that our room doesn't smell.

21. For not being messier than I am.

22. For having a boyfriend that makes us cheesecake for random occasions.

23. For being excited about things that make me excited.

24. For loving volleyball as much as me.

25. For wanting to continue to see me after we move out of the dorm.

26. For not caring when my sorority stuff took over the walls.

27. For reading all of my articles when they are published.

28. For understanding my medical issues and the stuff I have to do because of it.

29. For not hating me when I come home late.

30. For listening to my ridiculous stories every day and pretending I am not completely nuts.

31. For being my first friend at school and one that I hope to never lose touch with.

There are so many things that I am leaving out, I am sure. Thank you for everything on this list and more. You were a blessing this year and I couldn't be more grateful.
