Dear Girlies of B103,

Where do I even begin? Words cannot express how blessed we are to have been randomly placed with one another. It’s so strange to think about how it took us almost two months to actually start interacting with each other (lol, until Halloweekend to be exact), but boy, am I happy we did. We are all so similar, yet different. Balancing each other out in the absolute best ways possible.

Although I do not say it often or nearly enough, I am beyond grateful for the five of you, more than you’ll ever know.

All throughout high school, I agonized over the start of college, nervous for the new environment, new friends, and just being on my own for the first time. You guys made the transition easier than I ever could have hoped for, and have been some of the only constants throughout this crazy year. Knowing that no matter what you guys will always be there is so comforting.

Over the course of these last eight months, we have all had our fair share of shambly moments to say the least. Honestly feel like it was me making the most mistakes though, so I also just want to say a MAJOR thank you for everything.

Thank you for never judging me and always looking out for me.

Thank you for letting me raid your closets and vent to you about literally anything that’s on my mind.

Thank you for telling me as it is and just putting up with me! Our friendship is different than any other I've made this year.

We are not just friends, but a cute little family.

I really don’t know how we made it through our freshman year, and can't believe we are in the midst of our last couple of weeks. I honestly and wholeheartedly think we were given the worst luck ever, but despite this, we handled it like absolute champs. Just thinking about all of the obstacles we individually, and all together, had to overcome is insane.

Looking forward to next year and the future, I cannot wait to see where we all end up. Each of you is so special to me and I could not have wished for better people to experience my first year of college with. I’m going to miss our common room hang sessions, movie nights, and Mario Kart competitions, but most of all I am going to miss living ten steps away from each of you.

Long live the bestie cats of B103, this will always be our suite. I love you guys endlessly!

XOXO,

Ari

P.S. If you know, you know.
