Dear best friend,

Let me start off by saying, when we first met, I really didn't think you would make this much of an impact on me. I never thought we would be as close as we are now. I never imagined you would be my roommate for the next three years. I never imagined you would be the sister I never had.

I met you the April before our freshman year, at an event for our major. We talked, laughed and almost went to dinner together. I saw you the next day and told you I was committing to Delaware when my first choice had been another school. We exchanged numbers and social media information. From then on it was short awkward conversations and long periods of time where we did not talk. When we did, we had nothing to talk about.

When I first met you, I asked if you had a roommate, which you did. I still, to this day, wish we had ended up rooming together. It's okay though because I have the next three years with you.

When school started, we had talked a little more and found out we had a few classes together. We didn't hang out the first couple weeks of school, and I cannot understand why. Once we started hanging out, we were inseparable. Everywhere I went, you were right by my side. When we weren't together, people were concerned and asked if our friendship was okay.

I don't remember the exact day that our friendship took off, but I do know it was the best day of my life. I had finally found someone that got me. Who knew what I was thinking without even saying anything. Who could have a whole conversation with just "lol" and "haha" and not get bored. Who was my person.

I can rely on you for anything. I can call you at 4 a.m. and you will be there for me (even though you might be mad that I woke you up). I can just look at you and you can immediately understand what is wrong and try to help me.

You are the only person who I can't stand to not see. If I don't see you or hear from you every day my heart hurts.

I love how we don't fight. I love how we can be mad at each other for a stupid reason and then get dinner a few minutes later and act like nothing ever happened.

You're the person who I can go and ask anything, and I mean anything. No question is ever a bad question and no thought is ever a bad thought.

I am so lucky to have you and I cannot wait to see where our lives take us, together. You are my best friend. Wherever we are, whatever we are doing, whatever happens now or in the future, you will always be my best friend.

I love you so much.

And thank you for everything.
