Dear Guy Best Friends,
Hi, it's me. I bet you didn't expect this – for me to publicly address how much I actually like and care for both of you. Trust me, it's a shock for me, too. Just kidding.
I don't say it enough, and I know that, but I love and appreciate you guys so much. It's honestly really hard for me to put in words to how important you are to me. I promise beneath every, "you're so stupid," and "I hate you," that slips from my mouth when I spend time with you guys, there is a whole lot of love.
You guys are honestly some of my favorite people and I have no idea how I'd survive college without you. From Monopoly nights to late night trips to get food and chill. Study nights will probably be some of my favorite college memories. Between all the laughs, jokes and sarcasm shared between us, I'm constantly left smiling when I spend time with you guys. You just mean a lot to me and, despite my constant attitude, I really do say a lot of great things about you guys, albeit not always directly to your faces.
Thank you for being honest with me when I need it. I always come to you guys for opinions and help because I know you won't spare my feelings when I ask for your thoughts on something. People have a tendency to sugarcoat things or just avoid uncomfortable topics altogether, but you guys haven't done that to me ever. You've always straight up told me if I was being stupid, or if I was making a poor decision, or if I need to make a change. Even if what you say upsets me, I know it's coming from a good place and I really do appreciate how much you care. Also, thank you for not judging me when I stupidly ignore you and make those poor decisions, even though you just told me all that could (and did) go wrong. It means a lot to not hear "I told you so" after I make a mistake.
College has been stressful and there have been some really rough times, but no matter the situation you guys have been a vital part of my getting through the rough patches. You've always been there for me whether I needed a shoulder to cry on, or something to yell at. Thank you for keeping me going when I didn't want to try anymore. You've been a constant source of love, support and happiness for me during the inconsistency of college life. I don't know how to express how thankful I am for you guys.
So, to sum things up, I just wanted to thank you for all that you've done for me: the stuff that you do for me on a regular basis; the stuff that I don't even realize you do for me; and for all the future things you'll inevitably help me with. I love you guys a lot.
With Much, Much Love,
Nichole
