Dear Roommate,
When I asked you to be my roommate, I barely knew you. I knew what you looked like and that you were a rising college freshman who was going to the Honors College at the College of Charleston. There's something nerve-racking about agreeing to live with someone that you don't really know, because there are so many things that can go wrong. But, I was wrong for any nervousness that I had, because for every one thing that could've gone wrong, three things went right. Little did I know that we would become inseparable and spend most of our time outside of class together, even though we already see each other every night.
Thank you for making memories with me that we laugh about on a daily basis. Whether it's walking to the dining hall, getting food in the middle of the night or just sitting in our room doing homework, we always find something to do that we will remember for the years to come.
Thank you for putting up with my dorky self. I know that I can be a handful sometimes, and so I sincerely do thank you for always being completely patient with me. You've basically memorized my schedule and shoved me out the door in the mornings or when I need to be somewhere, and I love how you aren't afraid to play "mom" sometimes.
Thank you for making me laugh. Whether it's you tripping over my backpack and falling backwards onto the tile floor or getting into the closet, refusing to get out and then falling asleep in there for half an hour, you always find ways to make me laugh harder than I ever have before. The way you talk in your sleep and your unhealthy obsession with popcorn also never fails to entertain me.
Thank you for always being someone who I can pour my heart out to with complete comfort. Even when I'm at my worst, you're always there with endless hugs and advice. I'm so appreciative that I can tell you the same story over and over again when something is stressing me out, and you'll listen every time and give me your complete attention. I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate your advice, because you think straight for me when I'm too emotional to even do anything.
Lastly, thank you for having my back. You always support me, defend me and stay by my side. I can't wait for the next three years with you and for a lifetime of friendship.
Love you always,
Delayne
