To my roommates (my people),
Can you believe it's only been eight months since we met for the first time?! It feels like I've known you for my whole life. I'm so happy I've gotten the chance to meet the three of you this year. I never thought I would be so lucky to meet my best friends in the first year of college! Moving out this week is so bittersweet - it will be nice to get away from schoolwork, but I don't think I can handle four months without the three of you. Although there are several things I'll miss about you guys over the summer, here are just a few:
1. Who will be there to constantly reassure me?
Lucky for all of you, you've had to experience my "do you think it'd be okay if..." or "what do you think about...?" questions countless times a day for the past two semesters. Who will be there to constantly reassure me that, yes, it's fine to eat that second cookie at dinner and yes, that one bad quiz grade won't kill you? It's gonna be a rough four months.
2. Who's going to laugh at all of my dumb jokes?
I can always count on you guys to laugh at my jokes even though most of them don't make sense. Now that I won't be with you every day, who's going to be there to laugh at my jokes, especially when they're not funny?
3. Who will keep me from being lonely?
It's going to be so weird not spending my weekends playing board games, listening to lots of different music, and spending half my mornings at brunch with you. I'll be so lonely not having three of my closest friends with me 24/7.
4. Who will I count on to join in on my weird lingo?
We all know each other's odd catchphrases that started as a joke but have now become a part of our daily routine, but who am I going to count on to not give me a weird look when I say "what's the happs?"
5. Who's going to be there to make me laugh every second of the day?
For four months I'll be without someone creeping on me from the top bunk, asking every five minutes if the window can be open or closed, and teasing me for never knowing what's going on. We're always laughing whenever we're together and that will definitely be the biggest thing I'll miss.
Four months is a long time to go without my closest friends. I hope you know you'll be getting constant texts, Snapchats, and facetime calls from me every day. I'll miss the three of you so much, but I can't wait to spend our sophomore year together in the fall! I'm so happy I met each of you, before now I didn't think it was possible to become best friends with someone after less than a year, but now I know it is definitely possible. Thanks for being so good to me this year, and please don't be a stranger this summer. Love you guys.
