I honestly can't believe the year is over. This semester went by so fast it's surreal. It feels like we could still have one or even two more months before we head back home for the summer. It has definitely been quite a year and there is no way I would have been able to get through it without you!

Having a roommate was one of the scariest parts about going into college for me. I was so excited at the possibility of meeting a new friend, but also scared at all the horrible ways it could turn out. I wanted that best-friends relationship that you see in all the movies and TV shows. And I was definitely a little scared at the possibility of us not getting along at all. We've all heard the crazy roommate stories and I didn't want one of my own. Thankfully I got what I wanted. A great friend and no horror stories.

Thank you so much for being a fantastic roommate! There is no one else on campus who would've been as good of a match for me than you. I don't know who else would put up with my fan. Or always listen to my crazy dreams. Or let me play the randomness that is the music on my iPod. Or have rant sessions about anything and everything instead of doing our homework. Or go to bed way earlier than most other college students.

You are a true bro. I don't know who else would've been so cool when I got super sick. Most people would have quarantined me and kept me in isolation. Not you. You just rolled with the punches. That made me feel better when I felt like I was dying.

I love that we can share everything that happened in our days with each other. I know all about your drama and you know about mine. I hate who you hate and you hate who I hate. We take care of each other. I clean up the puke from the random stranger who left us a little surprise. You get rid of said random stranger. I yell at the girls in the hall to be quiet so we can sleep. You fill up my water bottle. And best of all we both buy each other surprise cookies.

I don't know what I am going to do without you this summer. I may not have known you for the first 18 years of my life, but now I have no idea what I'm going to do without you for the next 3-4 months of my life. I know we are both excited to go home and see our family and high school friends, but I'm going to miss you so much. While we have SnapChat and texting, they aren't the same as actually seeing each other face-to-face.

I can't wait to live with you again next year! All the adventures we will have and the stories that we can tell. We can cross off more items off our bucket list and add 10 more for every one we cross off. We can add new words and phrases to our vocabulary. We can eat more samples and fro-yo (I mean that's mostly you but whatever). Next year is going to be awesome and there is no one I would want to experience it with more than you!

To conclude. What a bro.

I love you,

The girl who lived on the other side of the room.
