Walking into college, I was nervous. I was scared. Courtney and I were roommates and let me tell you, that is where it started.
We went on daily Target trips...
Played Crazy 8 every day...
Went to Dunkin' literally every day...
Wanted to cry for our Tuesday and Thursday 8 ams...
Lastly, went on our last IHOP date of the summer...
Truthfully, I have no idea how I would have gotten through my first semester of college without you. We spent almost three hours in our "secret" study spot to write essays, jamming out to Hannah Montana, of course!
And then it was time to separate for nine days. We literally talked all of the time, went on Target FaceTime trips, and we missed each other.
Move-in day finally came, it had felt like we have not seen each other for YEARS.
We then went through primary recruitment, together, side by side. We talked every night, we shared what we loved, and the outcome was amazing. We were both super scared that we would not get our first pick so I decided to pray for both of us. I remember the smile on your face when you opened your card and it could have lit up the whole entire room.
We may not be sorority sisters, but we will always be soul sisters!
So Courtney, thank you for being the shoulder I cried on, the one I went to when I had a bad day, for being my best friend, and for being the one to always make me laugh. Thank you so much for being my non-biological sister and getting us both through the summer semester.
I love you!
