From friend-terventions to guac every night, you lovely ladies made boarding school home. I survived because of you seven. I just wanted to thank you guys for being the most amazing group of girls and for being the best friends possible.
Thank you to the loud-mouth who will always be the most loyal friend. Thank you for completing 3D puzzles with me. Thank you for making me participate in the Slip’n Slide during freshman year. Thank you for all of your support and for being the friend who I knew would defend me. Thank you for the alien abduction movies. There is no one who I’d rather yell at a boy for than you.
Thank you to the most awkwardly preppy girl who came during sophomore year. Thank you for thinking that I was three different people during the first week of school and thank you for your tights, cardigans, and flats that defined sophomore year. Thank you for sitting outside by a pool and eating quinoa while I had a mental breakdown. Thank you for being the worst driver, but also for being the most welcoming person. Thank you for all of the chips, guac, and Aloe drinks.
Thank you to the girl who will probably become a family member. Thank you for coming on family vacations and only ordering a salad at dinner. Thank you for snapchatting my little brother and sister. Thank you for always showing me the other side of my opinions and thank you for having the most entertaining stories of your daily life.

Thank you for sitting in my bed and listening to my issues while giving me the best advice, even if I ignored it.

Thank you to the cutest, sweetest girl who I have ever met. Thank you for going to freshmen orientation on the same day as me, even though we didn’t plan to.
