Freshman year of college comes with many challenges. You are thrown into this little dorm, surrounded by a bunch of people you don't really know yet, and forced to figure things out for yourself. I was beyond excited for this venture. As I come to a close of my first year here, I can't help but reflect on everything that has changed and made me a better person today.

You always hear about those college roommate horror stories. It scares us all. I am fortunate enough to say that I have literally had the best college roommates anybody could ask for. Not only do we all live with each other with ease, but we are also all each other's best friends. I hope these girls are in my life forever because they are amazing and beautiful, and I can't wait to see where life takes them.

I will miss you guys so much this summer. Thank you for all the amazing memories you have created with me.
