Dear 2015,
As this year comes to an end it is time to reflect on the year as a whole. From graduating high school to moving away to college, this year has brought a lot of change. I need to take a moment to thank all of the people who helped me throughout the year and who brought me to my current self.
To my family, thank you for everything that you do for me. You have always been there for me at my best and at my worst. This past year you have helped me through my struggles and celebrated my triumphs. You have assisted me in making very important decisions and you knew how I should handle my situations. I appreciate you dealing with all of my excitement and passions. Thank you for always supporting me and for being there for me. I cannot thank you enough for everything that you have done.
To the friends who have always been there, thank you for all of the memories that we have made this year and all of the years before. I will never forget those late nights when we would talk forever and the squad hangouts that lasted for two days. I appreciate both the times when we were spontaneous and the times when we would sit around and talk about random nonsense. Over time we have stayed in touch, no matter how far away we were. We have a bond that will always be there. Thank you for always being there and for creating new memories.
To the new friends who I have met in the past year, thank you for accepting me for who I am. Thank you for accepting my awkwardness when we first met and for getting past that and discovering who I really was. I am grateful for you letting me know who you are and for finding out our similarities and differences. These characteristics created a side of out bond that you will never know. You are crucial to my life story and have helped me to be who I am today.
To my roommate, thank you dealing with me 24/7 and for becoming one of my closest friends. Thank you for making my semester incredible. You never fail to make me smile and you never judge me when I am dancing and singing in the room late at night (most of the time you even join me). You are always there for me if I feel homesick and you know how to cheer me up. This semester has been fantastic and I cannot wait for more memories.
To these people and more, thank you for making this year memorable. I am so grateful for your support and relationships. You have helped shape who I am today. Thank you for everything that you have done and I hope that you have a happy new year.
