Words cannot describe how jealous I am that you get to graduate before I do. Even worse is the fact that you will be leaving. I will not be able to just walk down a hall and see you or text you to come hangout with me. But all joking aside, I am so happy that I can still learn from you. I still have some time left before I graduate, but in that time I get to watch you grow and become a new person.
It hit me hard that these next few weeks are some of our last few definite weeks together and it absolutely sucks because there is so much we can still go out and do.
Becoming friends with you my freshman year was the best decision I made. I was new to UNA and did not have anyone to call friend. I sat next you at that interest meeting and we spoke. We were able to find some common interests like color guard. I then saw you around the residence hall we both lived in, and then once more at another meeting. Not long after, we made the decision to be friends. Who knew that four years later that we would still be friends? College has had its ups and downs. We have had our ups and downs, like many friends have. We have been able to have discussions on a wide range of topics
In that four years, we have been on many adventures together from trips to Walmart to discovering new places in Florence. Never once have we ever had a dull moment together. There are times where you have pushed to do things outside of my comfort zone, and there were times I convinced you to indulge in the things that I loved. When I needed some encouragement, you were there for me and cheered me on, telling me that I could do it.
I hope that you get out of life what you deserve and want. I have watched you work incredibly hard to be a voice for our campus. Whether or not we see each other again after you graduate, I hope that we keep in touch and meet up as much as we can. I want you to succeed and achieve your dreams. There is no one I know that is more deserving than you are. While not everyone may like you, just know that I am here in your corner ready fight for you if I ever need. Friends made in college are special, especially because we meet so many new people in our time there that we could have easily fallen out of touch with each other, especially this year with life dragging us separate ways.
But long story short, we are still friends and I hope that we are friends for many more years.
My wish for you is that you keep on being the amazing woman that I have known these past few years. The world will not know what hit it.
