I know, I know, I know... all of you reading this are probably so tired of seeing articles about college friends leaving for the summer. But would I really be basic if I didn't jump on the bandwagon? How can I not?

Freshman year was a huge adjustment for me. By the time first semester came to a close, I was ready to drop out of my university, come home and go to the local community college. Boy, am I glad my mom wouldn't let me.

When I came back for the second semester, my building was having a social to welcome everyone back to school. I messaged one of the girls on my floor (who I had never spoke to a day in my life) and asked if she wanted to get dinner and then go to the social together. We instantly hit it off, and the rest is pretty much history.

Three weeks after I messaged her, I met my next best friend. I went from living a quad with three girls from the town next to me to living in a double with a girl on the same floor that I had never spoken to. I thought to myself, "what if we didn't get along? What if it was my old situation all over again?" I couldn't help but to wonder what living in this new room would entail.

Man, oh man, did we get along. We were "two peas in a pod", as some may say. She welcomed me with opening arms, and I couldn't have been luckier.

So, to my two best friends in the whole wide world, thank you so, so much.

Thank you for hanging out with me constantly.

Thank you for the constant laughs.

Thank you for the late night Subway runs.

Thanks for watching me trip over the rug and knock over all the dishes, sending them across the room, and falling to the floor laughing with me.

Thank you for helping me when I have my mental breakdowns before finals.

Thank you for being my home away from home.

If it wasn't for you two, I wouldn't be at this school. I would have given up and gone home. My freshman year did a complete 360 when I decided to go out on a limb and message that girl on my floor.

I am so incredibly lucky to have both of them and I can not imagine where I would be without them.

Room 420 will always have a special place in my heart.

For any incoming freshman that are nervous about making new friends in a new big university, it may take a while but I promise that you'll find your people!
