I miss you. I really miss you. I might be able to Snapchat you pictures of my face with the dog filter every day and text you funny stories about my summer, but I still miss you. We spend nine months of the year together, and that makes you more than a friend, that makes you my family.

You are an irreplaceable family, and missing you is not easy. It reminds me that my friends are miles away from me. Please do not get me wrong, I love my friends at home, and I miss them the same way when I am at college with you.

They make missing you a little easier because they help fill the gap. The gap that makes me want to lay in bed and watch Netflix constantly, but then they make a joke that reminds me of you or it is an episode that we watched together before. It is not easy missing you. You are one of my college best friends!

College is an unpredictable and scary time, but you make my worst days better when you come to classes with snacks to share and some words of encouragement. We are lifelong pals because of the connections we have made in these past three years of college.

It takes a really special person to deal with a tired, stressed out lady all the time and still love her unconditionally. You do that all the time for me! I also wanted to say thank you. I have loved becoming your college best friend and cannot wait for more fun times together.

Sitting around this summer with nothing to do also scares me because it reminds me that seeing you every day in the hallway, taking naps on your bed when you are doing homework but don't want to be alone and eating ice cream for every meal together will end soon. I have one more year of that fun life, which means I have one more year of us being inseparable.

All of my college memories I love involve you. You are the reason college is fun for me. You are the reason I make it through the toughest classes and still end up smiling when I failed a test. It is hard not to have the joy of being your friend when we are so far away, for what at the time seems so long.

I look forward to all the fun we will have in the fall, and that makes me feel a little better, but I am not a patient lady. I want to be hanging out now.

I want to go to our favorite restaurants and stay up until 3 a.m. talking about the drama between friends and deciding what we want to do the next weekend together. I want to cuddle with you while we watch "High School Musical" for the 100th time that semester.

I guess what I am trying to tell you is that I just really miss you.
