I am now in my second year of college. Last year around this time, I was still learning my way around campus and getting used to living 4 hours away from home. Now, a year later, I know my campus and city like the back of my hand and love it with all of my heart, but I would not be at this level of excitement and comfort without some great people who have helped me along the way.

To the friends I have made in college:

First off, thank you. Thank you for making me feel comfortable to be myself. Thank you for supporting all of my decisions. Thank you for all of the conversations that make me laugh until I cry and for being there when I do cry. At this time last year, I was afraid of not making any friends, but now it's a year later and I have the best group of friends that a girl could ask for. Ranging from friends that I have made in my classes, at work, in my dorm, or at an extracurricular activity, you have all made my first two years of college awesome.

Secondly, thank you for helping me get to where I am today. From having endless support when I am on my third major in the past year, (and supporting all three that I have had), to surviving those late night study sessions that we can only survive by randomly serenading each other. You have all filled the past year with endless memories, laughter, and so much love that I will always be grateful for, and for making my transition into college much easier than I thought it would be. Here's to the next couple of years that will be just as great because of you amazing people!

Much Love,

The friend that is forever grateful for you
