An open letter to my best friends:
Summer is coming to an end very quickly and I just realized this is our last summer together. Some of us are getting ready to graduate and some are getting ready to transfer to different schools. The real world is going to be taking us in different directions very soon. I will admit this summer hasn’t been the same as the past summers because we are already busy transferring into the real world. We might have been busy with jobs, summer school, and interns but I still had fun, because it was with you guys.
I wanted to thank you guys for everything. Thank you for the random last minute plans. The last minute ones always ended up being the best ones. Thank you for the late movie nights with junk food and icees. Thank you for random hide and seek games. Thank you for playing our kickball tournaments against other groups of friends. Thank you for our Christmas parties. Thank you for the beach trips. Thank you for all our random nicknames we have for each other. Thank you for being goofy and not caring. Thank you for accepting me for me. Thank you for the support. Thank you for the smiles. Thank you for the laughs. Thank you for the tears. Thank you for staying strong together throughout the fights that we look back at now and laugh. Thank you for staying together and hanging out for seven years.
Although we fight and we do have our moments, we find a way to figure it out! You guys are my best friends! You guys are my family. At times it is also sad because at times I feel like I am losing all you guys since we are growing up, but then I have to remind myself that I am being over dramatic! You guys will always be my friends. You guys will always be my family. As I said earlier, time is going to find its way and make things more complicated for us, but our friendship is strong enough to conquer this new step in our lives. We will find a way like we always do. It might be very different then what we are used too, but it will work.
The word is if you have a friendship of seven years long, that friendship will last a lifetime. We don’t have just a friendship of seven years, we have friendships of seven years! I plan on all of us hanging out and staying in touch after we graduate and find our careers, even we don’t live close anymore. I will cherish every memory with you guys and hold onto it forever. We have seven years of memories and many more to come, no matter what the real world says. The real world can separate us physically, but the real world cannot separate our friendships. Now let's enjoy the rest of summer and enjoy this new exciting step in our lives.
