I never can relate to those who experience painful roommate experiences. Obviously, we all have our days; our attitudes and the moments that we think everything should be done our way. But then life hits us and we realize there are for greater things out there than ourselves and to me that’s led me to my forever family.

I never knew I was signing up for a forever friend my freshman year, let alone a forever family. I often over heard stories that you met your best friends in college, but honestly I wasn’t sure what that looked like till now.

I have too many “I owe you” moments to count, I have missed too many moments to say “thank you” and there are no words that can even come close to explaining what these past four years have met.

But here is a start, Thank you for...

1. Being my absolute best friend.
2. Dealing with my break ups.
3. Making me experience separation anxiety over long breaks.
4. Dealing with my dramatic screams.
