I never thought it would be possible to become so close to someone in such a short amount of time. When I think about the short amount of time I have known you, my mind is blown. I feel like I have known you forever and I definitely can’t imagine my life without you. Who knew I could spend so much time with someone and never get sick of them? I’ll admit I was terrified I would end up with some crazy person or someone that just didn’t like me. Well, you are kind of crazy, but one out of two isn’t so bad, right? In all seriousness, I am so lucky to be able to call you my roomie!
Our little mini adventures are what keep me going throughout the week. By adventures, I mean our late night ice cream and pizza runs. These outings may not be good for my health or my bank account, but there is no one I would rather be fat and broke with. Thank you for always being down to take a break from our studies and grab a bite to eat. I don’t know what I would do without these little expeditions.
Here is a huge shout-out to you for allowing me to use you as a personal therapist. You let me talk your ear off about all my little problems without any negativity. You just listen and give me advice. Not only that, but you are loyal and always take my side even if I might not be right. If you are sick of hearing about my boring life, you sure don’t show it. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate you for this. Not only do you listen to me, you comfort me. You have a way of knowing exactly when I need a hug or a self-esteem boost. Thank you for continuing to lift me up and assuring me that I am not completely crazy when I feel like I am.
Since day one, you have always been down to try new things with me. Whether it be exploring a store downtown, attending poetry readings or checking out art exhibits, you are always excited to tag along. You are my go-to person in everyday situations, too. I know I can always count on you to eat breakfast with me in the caf or grab coffee with me between classes. You are just always there to get me through my day.
Being away from you for long periods of time is almost painful. Let's be honest, a "long period of time" to us is a couple hours, and even then, we are constantly texting or Snapchatting. Still, I miss you like crazy! When you go away for the weekend, I can't wait until Sunday evening when I get to see you again. I don't want to even think about a whole summer away from you! I find it amazing how quickly we became such an important part of each other's lives. We didn't know each other six months ago, and now we are inseparable.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I appreciate your presence in my life more than I can even express. Without you, who would I eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream with on our dorm room floor? Who would I send ugly Snapchats to? Who would I laugh with about jokes that aren't even funny? Who would I rant about my day to? I wouldn't want to do any of these things with anyone except for you. Thank you for doing college with me. I couldn’t imagine a better roommate or a better friend. I love you with all of my heart.
Much love,
Your ever-so-grateful roommate
