Dear Roommie,

Although we have been living together for a year and a half now, I have never felt closer to you than I did during the holiday season and as we enter 2018. We shared so many new experiences over these past few months alone and made so many great memories.

I hope you have an amazing break and a magical holiday season, but I cannot wait to go back to school to live and laugh with you again! See you soon, Lizzito.

Love,
