There are so many things I want to say to you. Being someone who is not that great with words, expressing my thoughts about you is extremely difficult. Within only a semester, I feel so close and comfortable with you. The short months we have been together, feel like a lifetime and you're no longer a stranger I met only by coincidence. The fear of entering a new place consisting of total strangers is overwhelming but you made the transition so easy. I no longer question whether I can make friends at college because you made me realize that we are all in the same boat. Every college freshman has the same worries about that first year and it is okay. We are here to hold hands and guide one another through this crazy journey.
Thank you for being there through the ups and downs.
New experiences can be super scary. Entering college, you're basically thrown into this environment where you don't know who anyone is or where to go. You're no longer in your home town where you can drive in any direction and know where you're going to end up. There are no midnight drives with your best friends to go grab Taco Bell or spontaneous family outings. You are a small speck on this campus and it is terrifying. You are now my midnight drive without a car, the family outing without the blood relation. You're there for the meltdowns about stupid drama or the homesickness. Coming to you for advice is so easy because, even if you don't know how to help, you just listen. You are the support system keeping me together in college.
Thank you for putting a smile on my face each and every day.
It takes a certain type of person to be able to brighten up any situation. Whether it's the smallest issue ever or the world is slowly crumbling, you are there with a joke or a silly face. The smile never leaves my face until my cheeks start to hurt. I never thought someone could learn how to cheer me up within a few months of knowing me. You are the reason I am happy here. Even the worst days end with a smile because you would never let me go to sleep upset. I cannot even begin to list the jokes we have told each other or the dumb experiences that no one will ever understand. The moments we have shared hold a special place in my heart because of the happiness they have brought me.
Thank you for being you.
You are incredible in every single way a human being could be. Your trustworthy, honest and sweet personality are only a few reasons why you are a great person. You are my therapist, my parent when necessary, my study partner, my right hand, my best friend. I don't know where I would be without you or if I could do half the things I have if you hadn't been there. I am honored to call you my best friend.
