To my squad,
First of all, I would like to thank you for being you. Without your humor, knowledge, advice and inappropriate jokes, I don't think I could have made it through high school with the little bit of sanity I have left. I would never have thought that a seemingly random group of girls could have such an effect over me, but you do.
I wouldn't even call you friends now, you're more like sisters (as cliche as that is). My dad is always asking when he can cook dinner for you. You scream hello to my brother when you see him and embarrass him just like I do. You could walk in my front door any given day and I wouldn't question your presence because hopefully you could pull me away from Netflix, or maybe we could just watch it together. Every time we come home from school it's as if nothing has changed and I can not express my appreciation for the ease of being together.
From first boyfriends to college acceptances, you have been there through it all to remind me that maybe that guy is a little sketchy or that a B in a class isn't the end of the world. You have been there to tell me when I'm acting crazy. You have been there when I have lost my way a bit and you have pulled me back to reality. The longer we're away from each other, the more I realize how much I miss seeing your faces as I walk into class, or the random trips out to dinner and jam sessions on weekends. The longer we're away from each other, the more I realize just how much you are a part of me.
Thank you for being there to have my back in any situation and for always believing in me. On the other hand, thank you for arguing with me and showing me when I'm wrong (we all know I hate to be wrong). Thank you for loving me unconditionally even though I make weird sexual jokes that can go way too far and make some people uncomfortable. Thank you for letting me scream and rant about things that don't really matter, but you know they bother me to no end.
I could never ask for a better group of girls to show off to my new friends in college. Seeing you accomplish things from miles away and across state lines is incredibly heart-warming and I want you to know that I am always wishing you all the best. Thank you for being a group of people that I know I can always turn to during hard times and happy times. Thank you for loving me for all of my little quirks and my strange sense of humor. Even though we aren't always five minutes away from each other anymore, I know that you are all always there for me no matter the circumstances.
I love you all,
Burruh
