You shared an 11'x16' room with me for nine months, and for that, you deserve the world. The big man upstairs knew what he was doing when he made you my roommate because you have been my counterpart and partner-in-crime throughout this crazy experience that was our first year of college. Every time I look back on my favorite memories of freshman year, you were by my side. I can't express my gratitude enough for all you have done for me, but hopefully these 33 thank-you's will give you an idea of how much you have been appreciated.
