This first semester of college was nothing I expected. The transition from high school to college wasn’t what I thought it would be. There are more emotional breakdowns in a day than one could even imagine. But somehow in the mix, I found a great friend. God only knows how the stars aligned but, we found each other. We have everything in common from our favorite foods to the TV shows we watched as kids! It’s crazy to think that we’d met just now. We spend almost every hour of the day together. We’re even friends with each other’s moms on Facebook. Time starts passing by in the semester and I feel like I’m starting to belong on our campus. But sadly, you don’t feel the same way.

You try to stick it out, but you know it’s not right for you. The terrible day comes when you tell me that you’re leaving. I’m saddened beyond words. But I know it’s for the best. The only thing we have left to do is cherish our time together. We only have a small amount of time to take as many ugly selfies as possible, to hear every embarrassing story about each other, and to make even more for the record books! Just to have been with you for this amount of time is the best thing that could have happened to me! It feels like I’ve known you my whole life.

Even though you’ll be leaving me, you know I’ll be keeping up with your shenanigans at your new school! It will be hard when you’re gone. But you always be my sister, my friend and my partner in crime.

Here’s to you. Here’s to me. Friends we’ll always be.
