Ej,
With school approaching, I have decided to write you this open letter.
A semester without you was crazy! I missed you so much, but we always found ways to stay in touch despite the crazy time difference. From Snapchats to text messages to phone calls to FaceTimes, it wasn't too bad! It wasn't the same, but we managed.
During your semester abroad, I watched you grow and find yourself and I am truly proud.
I still remember the day we met, and just thinking about it makes me smile. Our days together in EGEE were the most fun with you. I definitely would not have survived that class without you. My favorite memory was when a few dudes behind us were making me uncomfortable and you called them out in the middle of class. That was truly amazing, and I am so grateful to have a friend who sticks up for me like you.
Throughout the year we became closer and closer. We have a special bond. We are the same type of 'extra' which I love about our friendship. I have loved every minute of exploring state college, having photoshoots on the HUB lawn, and even our late nights in the lib. We even set up two of our peers on a date LOL…
You believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. You hyped me up when I felt down.
While I was in Italy, I just missed you even more.
You have helped me become more confident in the person I am and have accepted me even when I am way too extra! I love our extra sides together.
Can't wait to make more memories with you this year. No matter what I will always be your biggest fan.
We will be reunited so soon!
Love xoxox,
Rebekah
