Froomie (n)--a roommate who also happens to be one of your best friends.

To my froomie, you know who you are. And I know you’ll think the name froomie sounds a tad cheesy, which, I admit, it kind of is.

But I digress. Because froomie describes who you are to me. And this letter is to thank you for all the great times we’ve had this past year.

By the end of our first year at school, we were good friends, having just lived right across from each other in our old dorm. But little did I know that living with you the following year would bring us even closer together and make us the best of friends.

Here’s a list of things that I’m thankful for because of you!

Thank you for always being there for me.

I knew you were always a listening ear I could turn to if I needed to vent about something. Whether it was a big paper that I was going to have to work on for hours or a guy who I thought was cute.

Along those same lines, thanks for trusting me with everything you needed to vent about.

Our friendship is such that we had a give and take of advice back and forth to each other.

Thanks for all the movie nights!

I was so happy to know that you were as much of a movie fan as I was, and lying in our beds at night watching a movie from a laptop screen will always be one of my favorite memories.

The spontaneous adventures.

You were always up for doing anything, any time. No matter what it was. Whether it was just getting a break from our room and lying out on the lawn or meandering into the city and enjoying all it has to offer, I knew you would be my traveling companion.

Our dance parties.

I’m forever thankful for that Bose speaker you brought with you to school! Although we didn’t have the most room for dancing in our room, we definitely made the most it. On that note, thanks for giving me an appreciation for rap music!

Our late night talks.

Sure, this wouldn’t happen every single night because we loved our sleep, but there were the occasional moments where we would just lie in our beds talking about life, or even play a game of Would You Rather.

Food!

Because although the food from the Pryz is nothing but average, we could spend hours in there, finding more food to eat and more people to talk to. Of course, eating in the city was pretty great too. Just eating in general, really.

Laughing.

There were times that I remember laughing so hard at something with you that my cheeks and stomach hurt. The joke might not even have been that funny, but you can bet that we were laughing at it anyway.

But, froomie, our friendship is nothing to laugh about! I’m so happy that we had the opportunity to live together this past year and I wouldn’t change it for the world! Thanks for all the memories and I can’t wait to make even more with ya!
