Let me start off by saying that you guys are some of the most amazing people I've ever met in my entire life.
When I came to college about two months ago, I was terrified to be on my own for such a long time. I was all on my own: most of my high school friends left the state for school and I thought for the longest time that they were my identity. Move in day was probably one of the scariest days of my life.
It took a while for me to even come out of my shell around any of you. I was so nervous that you all would think of me as some weirdo that didn't belong. Honestly, I was a mess. Then I actually met you guys. We all bonded over the ridiculous things. Some things were crazy, some made me feel like I was at home with you guys. And that's what so great.
You have all changed my life for the better in ways that I have no idea how to explain. I've been so much happier than I ever could have thought. Never have I ever felt like I could call someone at 3am with an existential crisis than I do with you guys as such wonderful friends. You guys all make me feel so safe at school. I feel so close to you guys and I've never been so close to people so fast.
I love the adventures we always go on together and know that I'll always have a blast. Whether we're walking down to grab donuts or driving all the way across town to get our nug fix, I have such a good time with you. I know that you guys are a safe space for me to truly be myself in a world of conformity.
I want to end by thanking you for everything. You are all so wonderful. We've all gone through a lot in the last two months and I am so grateful I had you guys to hold my metaphorical hand as I have my mood swings, my attitude, and all of my goofiness and ridiculousness. I am ecstatic that I have such wonderful people who will sing at the tops of their lungs to whatever is on the radio, cry over pictures of our dogs, and generally all be happy together. I am so blessed to have such beautiful souls in my life and I don't know how I could have survived the first eight or so weeks of college. I love you all.
