I've had my fair share of friendships in my 20 years of life. But the friendship that I have with you is the one I value the most. I will never forget when we first met. It seems like it was just yesterday. It was our freshman year of high school, during B lunch. The majority of the freshmen were sitting in the hallway because the cafeteria was full. Of course, we were both complaining to each other about it. Some things never change.

The years went on and on and we sure did cause a lot of ruckus. I can still hear all our teachers yelling at us to be quiet or telling us to separate because all we would do in class was talk and laugh. I was the first call when you got your license and when you got your first car. You were my first call when I got my license. I even told you before I told my dad. We graduated high school together (obviously) and we even had joint graduation parties. Oddly enough, we got accepted to the same school. I guess God knew I wasn't going to be able to survive college without you.

Over the last seven years, we definitely had our ups and downs. We had our fights. Some lasted longer than others but we moved on. There was a point in our friendship where we both changed and we weren't ourselves anymore. We got through it and stuck around for each other. I've been there for you in your times of need, and you've been there for me. And I know I don't say this enough, but thank you.

Thank you for not running away. I know I can be a handful sometimes. Mom always says, "I don't know how he's put up with you after all these years."

Thank you for always making me laugh. Seriously, I have yet to find someone who is as funny as you. You're probably the only person that makes my awful/embarrassing cackle come out.

Thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on. You aren't always all that comforting, I'll admit that, but I still always go to you when I'm upset.

Thank you for always hating the boys who hurt me. You never really admitted that you hated them but I still knew because you always rolled your eyes when I mentioned them.

Thank you for always being the first person to call me on my birthday. You have beat my parent's in the past, by the way.

Thank you for spending almost every holiday with my family. Whether it's the Fourth of July or Christmas Eve, you always make a special appearance.

Thank you for always buying me dinner. Even when it's my idea to go to dinner and all you get is a dessert because you already ate, you always surprise me when you tell our server it'll be on one check.

Thank you for always being so honest with me. It doesn't matter if you're telling me that I'm being absolutely ridiculous, or that I should pick another picture to post on instagram because the one I chose isn't all that great, I still appreciate your honesty.

Thank you for never yelling at me for blowing up your phone. I don't care that I've called you six times in a row, I will call you until you answer.

But most importantly...

Thank you for being my best friend.
