To My Senior Friends,
Is it almost spring semester already? I can't believe we only have the next five months together. What a great time it has been, though. There are many reasons I need to thank you before you leave.
First of all, thank you for taking me under your wing. I would have never been able to assimilate into our group of friends so smoothly. You never managed to make me feel left out even when you were with your others, always inviting me along.
Thank you for never letting me be alone. Anytime I have ever needed you, you were always there. One call, and you'd be asking a million questions trying to get me to stop crying, or breaking me out of my shell. You took me on small road trips, even if it was just to Wegmans or Walmart, and you never once let me curl into a ball under my covers when all I needed was a friend.
Thank you for being my mom away from home. Transitioning to school was one of the hardest things that I ever had to do, which sounds dramatic but true. You were there. You helped me when I was sick, you watched movies with me when I needed a night in, and you made me study whenever I didn't want to. You pushed me harder than anyone, but only when necessary. You learned my strengths and weaknesses and never ever gave up on me.
Thank you for being my personal stylist. Whether it was me asking if makeup matched my skin tone, needing you to dye my hair a new color, or needing to borrow clothes, you were always there. You left your closet open for me, and always gave me your honest opinion. You let me know that my shoes didn't match my dress and that I didn't need to wear a low cut dress when it didn't matter what I looked like.
Thanks for being my tutor. You helped me learn all my school information (even if it wasn't your major). You taught me your material when I was sitting next to you and you needed to talk your information out. You helped me read between the lines, and comprehend texts. You showed me what's important.
Most importantly, thank you for being my friend. I know I don't say it enough; I know I don't say it enough. Whenever my roommates got on my nerve, you opened your door for me. You stayed at the library with me, or up studying until the early hours of the morning when I thought I was going to fail my test. You never let me down. I'm happy I had the pleasure of getting to know you, even if our time together was cut short. I don't want to see you go, but these next few months will be the best we have ever had. I can't wait to see all that you will accomplish in life, and maybe that's the best part of having senior friends; I get to watch you grow up now. Let's just hope in the next few years I make some younger friends.
Love always,
Lonely Sophomore
