Dear Best Friend,

I thought I knew who was going to be my person throughout college and I was absolutely sure of it; that is, until everything fell apart. My freshman year was full of ups and downs, but spring semester just seemed to be going further and further downhill. I lost people who meant a lot to me in such a short amount of time, I felt impossible alone, but then you listened to me whine on deck and the rest is history. I'd gladly go through all that BS again if it meant being your friend.

I say you unexpectedly became my best friend, not because the randomness of it all, but because honestly I thought we were too different. Before I got to know you, I really thought the only thing we had in common was our sorority, but boy was I wrong. We are crazy similar, but we have our differences too and I think we balance each other out. I am so glad I had no one to go out with that night, because I may have never got to see who for the amazing person you really are.

You came into my life right in the middle of a storm. My heart had been broken, the person I thought was my best friend really wasn't, and then I got hit by a car, but none of my problems were too much for you to handle. You take me as I am, tears and all. You are so amazing and kind and caring. I know you've got my back no matter what. You saw me at my worst before you saw me at my best and still decided to stick around.

In just four short months we went from sisters to best friends to roommates. I can't wait for all the late nights, dance study breaks and life chats in our dorm. I'm ready for the endless amounts of ridiculous pictures and memories that we will make. You've done so much for me in such a short amount of time. You've listened to me, been there when I needed you, driven me around, and most importantly (just kidding... well kinda) you got me obsessed with Lilly Pulitzer. We've laughed, cried, and sang really old Justin Bieber songs together. I am so glad the universe threw us together, because I would be lost without you.

You are my best friend, the person I trust with everything. You are the one I send all my screen shots to, you're the first person to know the latest details in my life. You stepped up when everyone else backed off. You give me advice and you're honest when I need it the most. I wouldn't change anything about our friendship, except maybe that I wish it had started it earlier, but we'll make up for lost time.

Thank you so much for everything you have done. I promise that I will always be there for you whether you need some chicken nuggets or shoulder to cry. So maybe I was off the mark the first time about my person, but I think I got it right this time around.

Love,

Me
