Dear My New Close Friend,

Dear new close friend,

we do not know each others' full history, deepest secrets, or even names of the others' parents. But you're becoming a really amazing person in my life and I want to dedicate this article to thank you.

First off, you are really funny. Not the chuckle once in a while kind of funny, but the "omg you're hilarious" funny. You get me on a spiritual level and understand everything it is that makes me laugh until I cannot breathe.

Second, you and I can talk about our problems. We have only been friends for a few short months, but we're already talking about everything (or everyone) that bothers us and makes us want to scream. I go to A Cappella now not just expexting to sing, but to talk about some anit-semantic and/or ignorant person who needs to open their eyes to reality. You know I will always be there to back you up on your beliefs (and anyone you need to fight with).

Also we may not have a lot in common, but I would say singing A Capella is cool enough. I miss reading all of your articles from Odyssey, but at least we have gotten closer through something more awesome!

Thank you for being a ray of sunshine that sends joy to everyone you want it shed on to (like me). Thank you for being a crazy and lovable human. Thank you for being obsessed with astronomy and loving cute animals like I do. Thank you for being you. It's my favorite version.

You grew up in my neighboring town (which I literally border) AND we have a mutual friend. How our paths have not crossed before is beyond me, however, we are now becoming great friends and I could not ask for a better friendship.

I cannot wait to go on weird adventures, buy food, take selfies, and celebrate the most random things. I am so glad that we have gotten close and I get to spend more time with you and we get to vent about more ignorant children on Facebook. I look forward to you bringing me to the dark side and getting me into all sorts of new interests. You are an amazing, strong-minded, go-getting, fabulous human. I love you just the way you are! I cannot wait to hear more about your rants, friends, and stories through our crazy and unconventional college experiences.

So here is to you, my new close friend: I love you to the moon and back already!
