This past year has been nothing but eventful and it's the first time that we've been apart for this long. Before this year we had never been apart for more than two weeks. This year has really tested our friendship and we made it out even stronger. So I wanted to say thank you for everything, for this past year and for the last seven years.

Thank you for being my rock. You've been there for me through every single one of my highs and lows. You've always picked me up off the ground and had my back. You're never afraid to tell me the things I don't want to hear.

Thank you for being my partner in crime. From yelling things at volleyball games accidentally or pretending we weren't making hot chocolate at 4 in the morning, you're always right by my side.

Thank you for being my personal chef. Whether it's grilled cheese, pizza, smoothies, apple dip, or nachos, I can always count on you for food. I guess that's just one of the perks of having a best friend who is a culinary student.

Thank you for being my concert buddy. I've lost track of all the concerts we've been to together and I can't wait to add more to the list. There's no one else I would rather dance around with in a stadium.

Thank you for being my cheerleader. You're always there to give me pep talks when I don't feel like doing something, or congratulating me for overcoming an obstacle. You have supported me through everything.

Thank you for just being you. You are more than just a best friend, you are family. I can't imagine not having you in my life.
