In college, age doesn’t matter, and that’s amazing and horrible at the same time. Classes, clubs, sports, and Greek life are all composed of students of different ages. I love that age doesn’t matter because people aren’t limited to being friends with only people their own age, but it also stinks to have friends that are different ages because you won’t be together all four years of college. I’m 19, and my best friend is 22, so sadly, next semester will be our last semester of college together.

To my best friend: looking back at my last three semesters of college, I could not imagine them without you by my side. We have been through so much together, good and bad, and I would not change one second of it. I love every second I spend with you, and the memories we’ve made will always be unforgettable. Thank you for listening to my rants, going on ice cream runs with me, being a senior in college and still loving sleepovers, and everything in between. You are incredible, and I am beyond grateful to have had you by my side through this crazy journey of college life.

I’m so sad that next semester will be our last semester together, and in preparation for it, I’ve decided on a few things we need to accomplish before you graduate. It’s a small list, since we don’t have that much time left...

1. Go to the rec and play one-on-one basketball – I talk a pretty big game, but you’ve never seen my words in action. I’m sure you’ll end up beating me, but at least we can both agree that I’m the best at spinning the ball on my finger.
2. Have our best sleepover yet – Movies, candy, pillow fights...you name it, we’ll do it. It’s going to be the best night ever.
3. Road trip to Nashville – We’re some of the biggest country fans in America, and Nashville is known for country music and an all-around good time.
4. King Library dates – It is still school, so we will still have to study. Luckily, our fifty twenty rule leaves plenty of time for goofing around and laughing until we're in tears.

To my best friend and sister, this might be our last semester together, but it will also be the best. As we continue to strive for good grades, I see many study dates and fun adventures in our future. Thank you for being the best friend I could ever imagine. I can’t wait to make this semester full of crazy and fun experiences with you.
