To my friend transferring colleges next semester,
I feel as though there is nothing else to say that fits what I'm feeling besides "I will miss you so much". You have been such a large part of my college experience thus far and I am not sure what the future will look like there without you. When I met you during freshman year I knew that I had found a "forever friend". And that certainly will not change with this transfer (thank God for Skype and Snapchat, right?).
It will be hard learning to go to someone else with my problems; you were my go-to. Who will I get pizza with at 2 AM? And watch Netflix with for four hours instead of doing homework? This isn't to say that I don't have any other great friends at college, but there are no other "yous".
I know that this move is the best possible option for you and that it must have been an excruciatingly difficult decision to make. I am so happy that you have found a place that will be better for you. I hope that it turns out to be all you want and more. You deserve nothing but the absolute best, you gem.
I am so thankful that you will only be a few hours away, though. I cannot wait to take some weekend road trips to see your new life and meet your new friends. You will do great at your new school--I know you will (because you always do). You will excel at school and find your niche, and your new college is just the place to do that. It will be the perfect fit, I feel it in my bones.
I cannot wait to see you thrive in a new setting. I hope you know that I expect updates about major, and minor, life changes (when you have time, of course). I do not want to lose this friendship we built in such a short amount of time, but I believe in us.
I am sorry that our college turned out to be the wrong place for you at this point in your life, and I wish that I could have done something to make you stay. But I know that you did not choose this lightly; that it is what you felt you wanted and had to do. I understand that.
But I'll miss you. I will miss seeing your face around campus and the humor you brought to any situation. I will miss your hugs and your smiles on my bad days. But I know that you will only be a Skype call or text message away.
Good luck on your new adventure, friend. I will cherish every moment we had together, and cannot wait to make new memories in your new home.
And just so you know, I am also only a Skype call or text message away.
Sincerely,
Your friend from your first college
P.S. Don't forget about me, please.
