I had a best friend back home and friends that I was fairly close with my whole life. I always had some what of a support system of friends. Coming to college, I had to leave them all behind as we went our separate ways. Although it hurt and I felt uncertain that I would meet anyone like my best friend from home or my child hood friends, I was pleasantly surprised and thankful the day I met you.
When we met we instantly clicked and had a chemistry that I have had with very few in my life. We are so much alike and share so much in common, sometimes it's scary. In you I have someone that I am able to share so many common interests, laughs, fun times, and stories about home. Even though we didn't grow up together I still feel lucky to hear you share your stories, visit each others home towns, and meet each others family.
I have always been told that it was not about how long you have known someone it's about who came into your life, stood by your side, and never left. You have proven that it reigns true, and have shown me true friendship. Despite just meeting, I have always been able to open up and share many things about myself with you. You have never judged me or been too busy to listen. We have in a short period of time, created an unbreakable bond.
Even though I haven't known you my entire life like some of my friends, I feel like I have. I have found a home away from home and comfort in you. I always have someone that I can call for absolutely anything. Whether it is to take a quick trip to Walmart, any of our favorite food places, or because I need advice. You're always one phone call or a short walk across campus away. Every time the stress of college has gotten to me you have been there to help me relieve stress or encourage me not to give up.
The journey of college and the path way to getting degree is a difficult one. Without your consistent support, jokes about dropping out, or late night study sessions, I don't think I would be able to manage. I know one day all our many hours spent in the library and making coffee runs to make it through the day will be well worth it. I'm glad I get to share my college experience with you.
I couldn't imagine going through college without you by my side. Now, I couldn't imagine the rest of my life without you either. I know one day you will be a part of my wedding and every big event that occurs in my life. I know you will be here through it all and I the same for you. We will always be in touch and a major part of each others lives. I knew for certain after meeting you that I chose to attend the right school. I am certain God had us meet for a reason. You are not only my college best friend, but also my forever friend. I love you and I don't know how I lived for so many years not knowing you, but I'm glad that's over. Here's to the memories that we've made and the ones we will make.
