Dear Roommate,

You, of all the people who I have met in college, have been my most needed. I truly do not know what I would do without you.

I still think that it is crazy that I have met someone so similar to me. From our sense of humor, to our interests, all the way to how we cope with things when we are sad. I cannot believe the resemblance, and I am forever thankful for it.

I know that I talk a lot, and I know that I am always worried about stupid shit, but I am more than grateful for the judgement-free zone that you have helped to cultivate in our tiny dorm. Your open-mindedness is so appreciated, and it is something that I have needed from a friend for a long time.

It's getting to the time when people are either becoming really sick of their roommates, or realizing that they are just not a good fit with one another. When I hear these stories, I become more and more grateful that we found each other. As we walk through the halls to go to the library, to the dining hall, or just to do a lap when we are stressed, I cannot imagine being with anyone else, because you truly have become my best friend.

I also want to give a huge thank you to my roommate's family. Everyone has been so welcoming, and I truly do feel like another daughter when I'm tailgating at football games and hanging out at the house with you guys. When I decided on a roommate, I never imagined that happiness would come from not just her, but from her relatives as well.

As a final thank you, I just wanted to acknowledge the fact that I have never felt more like myself than when I am with you. You enjoy Christmas music right after Halloween, Goldfish, and my weird dance moves.

You always know just what I need when I am feeling down, whether it is a cookie or a night of endless Spongebob memes. These past two months have truly been the biggest blessing, and I cannot imagine my college experience with anyone else except you by my side. Thank you times ten for everything you have done for me. I love you so much.

Love,

Your Roommate
