Now even though my college experience hasn’t gone the way I anticipated, you have lived up to every expectation. In the short time that I have known you, you have taught me so much that I didn’t know I needed. We had our friends from high school that we had known for years, that we already felt comfortable with, and that we could be ourselves with all day long. So, I understand how scary it was to have to start fresh.

There are people that you meet and are “friends” with, civil with, but then there are those other people that you meet and can automatically be as weird as you want without being judged. Thank you for letting me be myself and accepting who that is. We may come from different backgrounds and our paths may or may have crossed but I am glad that we both ended up here.

While life has had its challenges already, you, have kept me sane through it all. You have been there for me and allowed me to be myself no matter what. You have invited me over when I had nothing else to do and come when I invited you just to hang out. You’ve listened to my random rants and problems already, and we have only known each other for a few months. Even though we’ve been friends for a short time, I couldn’t imagine life without you, and I feel like we have been friends forever.

I can’t wait to start planning our “typical college experience” and for us to have experiences and adventures. Sometimes, the friends you go to college with, from high school or even from life, aren’t your friends, after a few weeks or months, and that sucks. But, I am glad that you are the ones that chose to be my friend when they didn’t.

People say that the friends you meet in college are the friends you have for the rest of your life, and I am so excited for you to prove that right.
