Our freshman year of college is slowly but surely coming to a close. With all the new friends that were made and memories that we share, it’s really going to be hard saying goodbye. Even though it’s only going to be a few short months, when we come back for the new year there are going to be so many new memories to be made; but none will compare to the ones we made with the new people we met.

Our freshman year floor will forever be a floor that means something to us. They will always be the very first friends that we actually made here at Temple. Your floor has been there for you from the start to the end. We all know the little things about each other; we made some of the best friends this year on our floor.

It won’t be the same waking up and not being able to walk down to your best friend’s room and wake them up for breakfast or just lay there and cuddle for a while. Not having the same routine every day will take some getting used to. Not being able to text in the floor's groupchat to see who wants to get dinner will be hard.

But as we start to take down our dorm decorations we realize that we don’t have much time left with each other on the floor. As we take down each photo that we took with each other we will realize all the memories that we have made with each other, and it will become harder and harder to say goodbye.

Even though we can get together over the summer, nothing will compare to the memories that were made on our floor. Next year we will have amazing new memories that will be made, but we can’t compare it to the amazing time we had together on this floor. Although some of us might be living together or far apart, we know that we will always have that special bond with each other.

From floor meetings to floor dinners, we will quickly realize how badly we are going to miss it all. Saying goodbye on the last day will be the hardest thing that we have had to do since saying goodbye to our hometown friends. The friends that I made on my floor here at my first year of college will forever have an impact on me.

When we all start taking down our decorations and pictures in our room, we will realize how amazing our floor was, and how we wouldn’t have been able to get through the year without each other.

So I just want to take the time to thank my floor for an amazing year with amazing memories; for introducing me to new people and breaking me out of my shell; for accepting me for who I am. I will never have another floor like the one that I have now. So thank you to all my friends that I made on my floor at my first year of college.
