To not only my roomie but one of my dearest friends,
You’re the light of my life. I can’t believe how close we became after only a few months together. I feel like I’ve known you for my entire life. I appreciate the fact that you don’t get mad when I sometimes leave my dirty socks on the floor. I like that we can leave each other little love notes on the mirror, or text each other little encouragements when there’s some outrageous test on our calendar. I like that we can share clothes and snacks and rummage through each other’s drawers as if they were our own. And most of all I really just like you –mostly because you’re so unbelievably great and our relationship is super cliche.
The fact that we were thrown together randomly by some computer generated system I will never understand. We are so alike in so many ways, it's almost like they read my mind! I will never forget the late night adventures where we got lost in the wilderness or that time we walked all the way out in the cold to get chocolate milkshakes but it was closed. I’ll never forget all those times we texted each other about who was going to kick everyone out when it was past our bed time and we felt bad telling people to leave. I like that we can just be silent and enjoy each others presence.
I will miss having screaming fits and fighting like an old married couple over nothing before we go to bed. I’ll miss snap chatting you a billion pictures of you sitting across from me. I’ll miss going to the dining hall in our Pj’s only to get ice cream. I’ll miss deciding to race to the door only to fight about who was going to open it for who and having loud karaoke battles to Hannah Montana music. I’ll miss wrestling each other in the hallway when we’re in a big group and laughing because everyone actually thinks we’re fighting. I’ll miss turning off the lights and talking before we fall asleep about that test I definitely failed while you assure me I didn’t. Most of all, I’ll really just miss seeing your smiling face every day. I feel a little empty not waking up next to you anymore.
Thank you for always being there for me and holding my hand. Thank you for reassuring me that everything is okay even when I know it isn’t. Thank you for being such a wonderful, caring, kind and generous soul that made a completely unknown place feel like home. You are the reason I love college and the reason I miss it when I’m home again.
You can definitely count on me bugging you for the rest of your life. But if ever should something happen that we fall out of touch (even though it's extremely unlikely), I would like you to know that I love you always, no matter what.
All my love,
Sydney
