For most college students, their first roommate will not be the one they continue to share a room with, which is perfectly okay; however, for me it was. After going from being complete strangers to living together for the last two years during this crazy college journey, I feel so lucky to have had you by my side every morning and night. Before we start the next half of building our debt, I would like to take a moment to thank you for everything and say that I’ll be here whenever you need me!

• Thank you for coming to my rescue every time I have forgotten my key and ID card (pawpass).
• Thank you for supporting my obsession with Friends and for also loving the magic of Gossip Girl… especially during finals week.
• Thank you for leaving me alone when I needed my space.
• But also, thank you for being my own personal therapist during the nights when I felt the need to vent.
• Thank you for listening to all of my trivial rants, whether they had to do with my group projects or the girl who took the last of the berries at the dining hall.
• Thank you for NOT being a morning person, and for always trudging alongside me to our 8 a.m. classes.
• Thank you for being my college mom and for always giving me wise advice (like telling me not go out to a party when I had a paper to do), and for taking care of me when I was sick.
• Thank you for tolerating my bizarre taste of music.
• Thank you for not only letting me take random naps, but for also doing the same with your 3pm siestas.
• Thank you for never getting mad at me when I stumbled into the dorm late at night when you were trying to sleep. I’m so sorryyyyy.
• Also, thank you for always checking up on me when it was late and I wasn’t back yet (GURL, where you at?)
• Thank you for being just as bad of a procrastinator as I am and for staying up with me to finish work so I wouldn’t be alone.
• Thank you for eating snacks with me at 1 a.m. (even though we both knew it was a completely horrible idea).
• Thank you for never scolding me when my side of the room got just a little bit too messy.
• Thank you for always being such an amazing host to all of my friends even though they’re completely crazy. Sometimes, I think they like you more than they like me…
• Thank you for making our dorm feel like a home and for tackling all the struggles of college life with me.
• Thank you for all the crazy “so college” adventures and nights we’ve shared together that maybe will make a good story to tell the kids about one day.
• But more importantly, thank you, for being my biggest supporter in and out of the dorm.

I can’t wait for this next year because I cannot imagine being in that apartment with anyone else. Here’s to more adventures, more late nights, and more memories!
