My Dearest Roommate,
It's crazy how I haven't even known you for a year, yet it feels as though we've been friends for a lifetime. I'm writing this to say "thanks", because without you, I don't know how I would have made it through college.
First of all, let me just thank you for dealing with me. I know I can be a pain-in-the-butt sometimes and sharing a room with me is not the easiest, trust me, my mom let me know all the time when I was living at home. It was hard enough keeping a one-person room clean, let alone a two-person room. I don't understand how you do it. You may not like my taste in music, but you don't say anything. You may not like what I watch on TV, but you watch it anyway. You may not like some of the people I invite over, but you converse with them. Kudos to you, my friend, because I don't think I'd be that laid back if all that stuff bothered me. So even if I don't always tell you, I'm thankful that you tolerate me.
Thank you for being my best friend. College was a rough transition for me, especially being away from home and in a different state. I was so worried about making friends, but after meeting you, it definitely eased my nerves. I had heard so many roommate horror stories and just thinking to myself, "Oh my gosh what would I do if that happened to me?", and thank goodness it didn't. I am so lucky that you and I have similar interests because I think that made our first interactions way easier. I believe that we were destined to find each other right when each of us needed it most.
Thank you for letting me friends with your friends. Since I was going to college basically by myself, I was so concerned with making friends but I knew you were coming from such a close area, I knew most of your friends would be attending the same school. I am so lucky that you were open to having me meet some of your closest friends, who I can honestly say, are now my best friends.
Thank you for staying up late talking with me. It feels like a sleepover every night, honestly. It's not too often that your best friend shares a room with you. I love that we can gossip, giggle, and laugh so hard we snort until 3 in the morning. I love that we can talk about anything with each other, no matter how weird, gross, or TMI it may be. Thank you for having a good time with me. Everyday is an absolute blast with you and I'm so lucky.
Thank you for letting me into your family. I can't believe how much I love your family. They greeted me with open arms so fast it was kind of scary. Even though they aren't blood-related, I feel such a deep connection to them. They're so supportive of me and my accomplishments, and I couldn't be more grateful to have them apart of my life.
So even though I haven't touched on nearly as many things as I wanted to, I hope this gives you a little idea of how special you are to me. I know that we will probably be friends for life, and I can't wait to see what the future holds with you!
See you in the room later,
Your Roomie
