I know what you're thinking. This is just another cliché letter to a girl's roommates. It's going to be sappy and its going to be like every other “open letter” you have read. Wrong. This letter is to my roommates. My roommates are unlike any other people I have ever met. We've had our ups and downs, and we've gone through the highs and lows together. Without them, sophomore year would feel impossible.
Dear
Roommates,
I
don't really know where to start, or how to word this, but I wanted
to thank you for everything you have done for me and each other over
the past seven months. Moving in this year, I barely knew a two of
you, and I was best friends with the others. But I now can proudly
say I have five of the best friends I could ever ask for. Without
further ado, here are just a few (of of many) things that I want to
thank you for.
Thank
you for being the best therapists.
I
mean seriously. How many problems do six girls have? Let me answer
that one for you: A LOT. Thank you for always listening to my
complaints, whether it be I can't perfect my winged eyeliner, or a
bad test grade, you guys are always there for me to whine to.
Thank
you for being open minded.
As
you (hopefully) know by now, I'm extremely open minded. I enjoy doing
random things out of the blue and I'm not one sided. Living with you
guys this past year has opened so many new doors for all of us.
Because of you, I have done so many things that have broadened my
horizons, and I owe that all to you.
Thank
you for having the same sense of humor as me.
Even
though I'm a little weird at times, you guys always understand my
jokes. I can't even imagine what it would be like to live with people
who don't have my sense of humor. I mean, can you imagine making a
stupid joke and have no one even cock their head thinking “what...”?
That is a world I never want to live in.
Thank you for having the same music taste as me.
Okay
this one is true for some of us. But generally, thank you for showing
me your new music and for allowing me to show you mine. I love
discovering new sounds and new artists, and six people giving me
those new people makes a world of a difference.
Thank you for letting me be me.
None
of you have ever tried to change who I am, or who anyone else is. I
can't thank you enough for accepting my weirdness, my flaws, and my
personality. Friends like you are one in a million.
Thank you for Monday night Bachelor nights and Thursday night Grey's Anatomy nights.
These days are my favorite of the whole week. They're literally designated girls nights and I could not love them any more. These nights look a little like this:
Thank
you for helping me through the sophomore slump.
Let's be real. Sophomore year is really dragging. Summer is only one and a half months away and we're all just about ready for summer. We all know how long a Monday can feel and how short a weekend feels. Thank you for pushing me through my bad days and being with me on the good ones.
Thank you for being honest.
Whether it's about an outfit or a boy, every single one of your opinions matters to me. You've helped me make decisions I couldn't make on my own. You've been there for my tears, laughter and everything in-between. All of this is due to your honesty.
Whether
it's sitting in one of our bedrooms talking about life, going on long
drives throughout the city, or going to family dinners, I can't thank
you five girls enough. Can't wait for the next two years with you
guys.
Xoxo,
Me
