Dear Roomies,
If you had told me freshman year that I would be living with the four of you, I would have been seriously confused. Especially since two of you are transfer students. Yet, we have spent an entire year under the same roof, and I would not want to trade any of you for the world! I have learned so much about myself and have even learned some medical terms from my pre-med roomies.
To Meredith: I am so thankful that you are always thinking of others first. You are a great listener and always know what to say to get us through tough situations. I can count on you for a good laugh, especially when I need it most. You are so bold and honest, which makes for great company. I can hardly believe we only became friends last year, and I cannot remember what it was like to not have you around. Thanks for all the late night pizza chats, sharing your shoes and letting me in the house when I forgot (or lost) my keys.
To Ellen: We practically knew nothing about each other when we became roommates, and yet the dynamics would be completely off without you. I enjoy your constant curiosity, cleaning and love for baking. You have a great heart and genuinely care about each person with you come in contact with. We are all thankful for your weekend cleaning sessions, car rides and advice. We are all so glad you are our "fifth" roomie. I am going to miss having you living beside me.
To Gracie: Our home would not be a home without you. You are such a joy to be around. Even if you think you have weird mood swings, we do not mind them at all. You keep us entertained, and I love how you can make the best of any situation. Thank you for always being uplifting. We could not have made it this year without your Netflix account, jam sessions and wine nights. Sorry for always making fun of the food you eat; I know you love me anyway.
To Katie: I would probably be dead in a ditch if it were not for you. Thank you for basically being my mom. You (and Meredith) always know what medicine I need when I am sick, and I trust your diagnosis every time. Thanks for being a constant rock and challenging me to be my best self. I could not have made any decisions this year without your opinion first, whether it be what to wear to dinner or what to do with the rest of my life (LOL).
You all mean so much to me, and I am sad to see this year come to an end. Even though you all might be a little bitter that I did not allow us to have a pet cat, we got along just fine without one. Each of you have brought something special to our home. Just because we won't be roommates anymore, does not mean our friendships will change. I love you all so much. Thank you for a great year.
