Whether you’re my junior friend, my sophomore friend, or my baby freshman friend, I love you all the same and I’m going to miss you so much next year. We have so many memories in high school together and I’m sad and a little bit scared to leave you. You have made my high school experience so much better and I can’t picture my life without you. Whether we met through a friend, activity, or a class you have played a big impact on my life.

It’s going to be weird next year when we won’t be walking the same halls or going to the same football games. We won’t even be stuck eating at the same boring restaurants together. How can it be that after so much time we have spent together, we are going to be thousands of miles apart? It scares me to think of leaving you, because who else will be there to be your role model and show you the ropes of high school? I have walked you through so many problems with friends, hard assignments, and so much more because I have been where you are before. I may be thousands of miles away next year, but I will always be there for you if you need anything.

Just because I’m the first to leave, doesn’t mean you won’t. High school does not last forever and I’m here to tell you to cherish it because right now, with only a few weeks left of high school, I’m stuck sitting in my bedroom thinking how much I’m going to miss you. You will get through your last years of high school and it’s not going to be as slow as you think it will be. It passes by in a blur and soon enough you’ll be taking your senior pictures and then your last homecoming, followed by becoming a second semester senior which is what every high schooler dreams about. Your time will come and although it is not now, eventually you will be where I am.

Always know that there will be a permanent spot for you in my dorm. I already have your air mattress picked out and the sheets that will match mine. Leaving you is going to be one of the hardest things I’m going to do, but it won’t be too bad because of the endless visits. When it’s your turn to leave, I’ll be visiting a ton. I’m going to be counting down the days until I see you and I hope you will too. Even though I’m going to be leaving you for a while, I am so excited to see all the great things you’ll achieve when I’m gone. I’ll miss you so much, but I love you and who knows, maybe it won’t be that bad without each other.

With tons of love,
