When I was going into high school so many people told me that high school will be the best time of my life and the friends I meet then will be my friends forever. I have learned to disagree with that statement. I love my hometown homies, but the people I really have to thank are the friends I have met in college.

1. Thank you for taking me in like a lost puppy.

Coming to college can be scary. Especially if you go to school hours away from home and do not know anyone attending your school. You wonder what will happen if you do not make a single friend there.

2. Thank you for teaching me how to adult.

Before college, I did not realize how hard adulting is. It is easier along the way when your friends are learning with you.

3. Thank you for making questionable decisions with me.

Sometimes you know that you are doing something you should not be doing, but you do it anyway because it is college. Thank you for laughing about the dumb things we do together.

4. Thank you for being cooler than any guy that I could ever end up being with.

Maybe Sex and the City is on to something, maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.

5. Thank you for accepting that I will never be a good dancer.

I mean, I don't think I have to go into detail about this other than I should probably thank you for this more often. I understand that I'm really really bad.

6. Thank you for answering my 2 a.m. phone calls and facetimes.

Whether I'm crying, wanting to tell you about my day, or just want to talk you are always there.

7. Thank you for calming me down when I have multiple quarter life crisis.

I know I have a lot of meltdowns. I don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of my life or when I don't know what granola bars to get at the store you always talk me through my decisions.

Thank you for being you. I could not get through college without you!
