I'm glad that we did not go to the same university. For starters, we are finding out who we truly are. We learned more about our passions. We expanded our social circle and found a group of people we love unconditionally. But there are times where I wish my new found friends understood me the way you do.
My classes need to be entertaining. However, college does not grant anyone the guarantee that every single one of their classes will be interesting. There are times where I need your pep talks, your tough love and your support. Especially to wake me up on time and motivate me to get to class. My roommate won't lay a finger on me while your way of motivation is by dragging me out of our bed. Your face resembled a tomato when you used to scream at me to get up. God, who knew I would miss those moments the most?
There are times where I look across the classroom and wish I can see your wide-toothed grin and your bouncy curls. Back in middle school, we always kept the class entertaining. We were always giggling about something totally irrelevant to what we were supposed to be doing. Now that you're not here with me, lecture halls became a place where my mind wanders off. I have no choice but to force myself to pay attention. Secretly it is a blessing a disguise but it does not mean that I don't miss those horrible jokes.
Who else is going to be honest with me? You ALWAYS told me the truth about everything that I do. You knew when someone was using my friendly nature to their advantage. You would tell me to put my foot down. I always tend to look at the good of people and you looked at the reality. We balanced each other out. Nobody here gets me as well as you do.
Imagine how we would handle the dining hall together. After school, Mom always served us dinner-- Arroz con pollo. Macaroni and cheese. The key was that it was so tasty yet so simple. Our colleges should be ashamed at what they serve as food. The watery mashed potatoes and the rubbery green beans are a few examples of the disaster this college serves. We will probably order from Chicken Joe's all the time if you came here with me. Nobody understands how much I miss our mother's cooking. Who knew our daily meal of rice and beans will be missed?
Even though you aren't here with me, I know I will never stop reminiscing about our memories. Living on campus is a great adventure to our lives. We can always visit each other when we can. However, the experience is not the same without my person.
One thousand four hundred sixteen miles. That's how far we are from each other. Regardless of the distance, nothing could break our bond.
