Starting college isn't the easiest process, but I think we all can agree that suffering is easier when you have someone else to suffer with. Seriously, I don't know what I would do without my roommates. Throughout the year you will go through everything together, and through it all, there is no one you'd rather laugh with, cry with, fail or succeed with. Here's to my new best friends.

Dear Roomies,

Here we are. We've finished the daunting task of moving in, a.k.a fitting all of our mess into a room barely big enough to breathe in. We only brought the necessities; 20 pairs of shoes is a necessity, right? Somehow we made it work, got settled and are prepared to embark on this first semester of the year. The first week of classes was rough, but after reforming our schedules and discovering our shower habits (which is a must when six girls share one shower) we have gotten more comfortable. It has been a busy process and we haven't had much of a chance to bond yet, but there is so much I'm dying to tell you.

First of all, thank you for agreeing to put up with me for the next year. Being with the same people every day through the stress of college is never easy. I can guarantee you will see me at my best and sometimes my worst. I thank you in advance for dealing with my drama, and somehow loving me still.

You will see every part of my heart throughout this year. I hope that I can be a light into your life, but let's face it, we all have dark days. Through the good and the bad, I hope you remember the good.

I can't wait for all of our memories because I know they will be what makes this college experience worthwhile. I can't wait for the late night Walmart runs, library all-nighters, joining student organizations together or just laying in bed all day sending each other hilarious videos.

Most importantly, I hope you know that you can always count on me. I know at times I might seem a little drained, emotional or crazy overall, but I will always be there for you. I want to be the person you can talk to all night about anything in the world. I want you to know that my heart is open to anything you want to share, and I am willing to be your rock, and I hope you can be mine. I hope you will find that I genuinely care about you, and will support you no matter what is going on in your life. If you ever need anything, just ask me. Whether it be scissors, notebooks, advice or someone to walk to the dining hall with, ask away. Life can be very difficult, things may happen that were not planned and it can knock you off your feet. I've been there. You don't have to do life alone. Whatever happens this next year, I hope you will choose to lean on me.

Love,

That weirdo you're stuck with for the next year.
