Dear Jess, D, and OMM NOM,

I know I tell y'all this so often but I am so beyond thankful for each of you and everything you have done for me. We've known each other since kindergarten and have always been a part of each others lives in one way or another. I wish there was a way to express how much y'all truly mean to me.

Growing up with the 3 of you is by far the best thing that's ever happened to me. When I look around at girls I know, none of them have had consistent friendships like ours. Sure, we've all had our fights like any other friendship, but 12 years of friendship is pretty amazing.

The fact that we are still just as close now as we were in high school proves how strong our friendships are. Although I've made so many new friends in college, I still consider y'all my best friends and always will. Y'all have always been such important people in my life I couldn't imagine living life without you.

Thank you for picking up the phone every time I've called. Whether I was balling my eyes out, needed advice, or just wanted to say hey, each of you has always been there. I know I've called over some stupid things and freaked out in the Fantastic 4 group message too many times to count, but I only do that because I come to y'all with literally everything. The fact that I still get responses is pretty amazing. I know y'all will always be there for me no matter what time of day or what y'all are doing and that means the world to me.

You have always kept my trust and made talking to y'all so easy. Thank you for always listening to me and dropping everything if I ever needed. Y'all are the first ones I come to with everything and I can't thank you enough for always being there. You honestly know me better than I know myself and the advice you give me is always exactly what I need to hear. Each of you have made me a better version of myself, so thank you. My brother has always told me to surround myself with people that have the qualities I wish to have and when I look at you three, I see them. You're all motivated, loving, thoughtful, etc. and make me realize the potential that I have to become a better person.

As I'm sitting here in my dorm room bed thinking about y'all, I can't help but think about your new best friends at college. We all have them but it's so weird to think about. I just hope they are there for you as much as y'all have been there for them. They're so lucky to have my amazing friends in their lives and better not take y'all for granted. You all know how much we miss each other and I can't wait for the day we're back in Olivia's basement for the usual squad sleepover.

Until then, I hope we continue to blow up the Fantastic 4 everyday with our irrelevant information we don't think is important enough to tell anyone else about. I know y'all are all on the path to do amazing things with your lives and being able to say that we're friends is such a blessing.

I love y'all.
