Dear roomie,

Where do I begin? You are one of the craziest people I know and you somehow always knew how to put a smile on my face. I obviously did not expect us to become roommates, because prior to you, I was rooming with a friend from high school. Things weren’t working out with my old roommate and I randomly texted you saying, “Hey, can I move in?” Just like that, you took me in - without hesitation. We went from having lunch every Tuesday at 12 to seeing each other every single day.

I loved coming home to you bursting through the door, singing your heart out. Then, playing the same song on repeat through the speakers, despite what our neighbors might've thought. I miss all your crazy stories, because they taught showed me that you don’t care what other people think. You were willing to take chances and you were spontaneous. You basically winged through your first year of college with nothing but laughs and silly regrets.

I just wanted to thank you for teaching me to be carefree and showing me there is always a way. I wanted to thank you for making me laugh whenever you opened your mouth. I wanted to thank you for opening up to me and asking me a bunch of questions like I was a big sister to you. Also, I wanted to thank you for allowing me to open up to you and knowing I could trust you without you judging me. Upon the many weird adventures we had together, I can easily say we also had the “basic roommate experience”. We shared clothes, talked about boys before we went to sleep, saw each other randomly naked, and so much more! You are such a unique person and although you feel insecure at times, your smile and upbeat personality can light up any room.

Love,

Abby
