To my beautiful roomie,

I write this with a heavy heart, because in two short weeks we will no longer be roommates. You will no longer be my partner in crime, we will no longer walk to every class together, we will no longer be able to have deep life talks before bed, or binge watch YouTube videos into the late hours of the night, or share every meal.

You don’t know this, but you came into my life during a hard time. I was coming off of a bad roommate experience and had lost hope in finding true friends. In a short amount of time, you let me in and allowed me to find a hope in friendship again. In the two years we have lived together, you have changed me in so many positive ways; you made me a more beautiful person, taught me to be easy going and brought me out of my shell.

There are so many things that I want to thank you for, but I think the most important thing is that you have always believed in me. I have bad days, I get into really bad moods, and fall into a place where I don’t believe that I can do it; you have always pushed me and always encouraged me to keep going. You have never judged me for those bad days, you stayed with me and accepted my sassy stages.

You have made me laugh until I’ve cried. You've sat and let me cry during the hard times, let me vent in stressful times, and have been alongside me during some of the greatest adventures of my college days. You have seen the good and bad and still accept me for who I am. I am the first to admit I am not the easiest person to deal with, so props to you for sticking it out this long!

Thank you for letting me be needy, but also allowing me to be needed. Thank you for letting me be bossy, but also telling me how it is. I hope you know how much I have loved living with you; as I graduate, and you get a new roommate, I hope you never forget the good times we had together.

As I tearfully write this I hope you know that you forever changed my life.

Love you lots my dear!
