College Friends,

It is super weird to think that I am graduating this spring (literally seven months away what???) and more so that we have been friends for two full years (hopefully for many more too). I am writing you this letter because I there is so much to say and so little words to say it all especially being the only true senior.

You all have another year together to laugh, have fun and go to hockey games. And I know that I spend a lot of my time working and sometimes miss the fun but am so grateful to always have you there to make my smile.

When thinking about how we all met it is kind of ironic how a simple dating app can bring two people together, they become incredibly close and then you have a whole new group of friends. Those friends became my life home away from home. I know that's true for all of us (being that we all go to school in Maine and none of us are from Maine).

Thank you.

For the endless boats of support, through everything as small as academics, to as large as my car accident and even graduate school. Always telling me that everything is going to be okay and we will get through it. Always having my back when I need it.

Thank you.

For making me laugh when I want to cry. For forcing me to go have fun instead of sitting in my room and sulk or pretend to do homework. For going to the gym with me and making me feel better about myself. For making everything into dumb, fun little competitions for bragging rights and high fives.

Thank you.

Now senior year is approaching and it is both super exciting but also super sad knowing that I am graduating and moving (probs across the country - help.) and won't be around much to see you guys flourish and do amazing things in your final year(s) at Maine. Who is going to watch hockey or baseball with me? Who is going to make fun of me? Or give me the reality check I need every once in a while?

Everything is changing pretty drastically but we have seven months and you better know we are going to push those seven months as far as possible. But also know that no matter how far away I am - even though Oregon is really freaking far - I will always have your backs and am always just a phone call or facetime away.

Love you all lots, and thanks for making Maine home.
