Dear Friends,

Throughout your life you come into contact with many people. Some make little impact on your lives, while others make such a huge impact you often ask yourself why. These people are known as your best friends.

I am so thankful for the best friends that I have come across throughout my life. Even though life gets tough and even the best of friends grow apart, I am still thankful for all the times we spent together. To my old friends and my new friends, I just want you to know how thankful I am for you guys.

With graduation right around the corner and the emotional roller coaster of a semester comes to an end, I just want to say thank you to all the friends who have shaped my life and helped me grow into the person that I am today.

Thank you for the endless laughs. I might be biased, but I would say I have the funniest group of friends around. I don’t think there has ever been a dull moment when we’re all together. Even though some times our humor can get us into some interesting situations, I wouldn’t change it for a thing. Thank you for giving me a reason to laugh every second of the day and for laughing at my jokes, making me feel funnier than I really am. I don’t know what I would do without all of the insane group chats that go off at all hours of the day.

Thank you for accepting me for me. In college especially, you see many people change who they are in order to be accepted by a group of people. While this is sad, it happens all the time and they never truly get to experience an authentic friendship. I am so thankful that I have found a group of friends who accept me at my best and at my worst. I can embarrass myself and make questionable decisions, and they will never judge me no matter what.

Thank you for always being there for me. Whether it’s someone to go out with or someone to get pizza with after a bad day, thank you for always being down. Also, thank you for loving bloody mary’s as much as I do. If it weren’t for you guys, I would have never found my new obsession. Thank you for being there when I need a good rant. Some of my favorite moments together are the ones when we’re all sitting around in junky clothes talking about life’s ups and downs.

Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone. Without you guys, there are so many things I would have never done. I am so thankful for all of our random weekend trips. I will forever cherish all of the memories we have made along the way. Thank you for the endless pictures. One of my favorite things to do is go through my camera roll and look at how far we have come over the past couple of years. It is crazy to see how much has changed from our outfits, to our hairstyles, to the people that are with us.

To all of my friends that I don’t get to see or talk to everyday, I am thankful for you. I know that no matter what you will always be there for me, and I would do anything for you. You guys helped shape me into the person I am today and I will never forget that. To all my friends that when life happened we grew apart and stopped talking, I am forever thankful for you guys as well. Even though we do not talk anymore I just want you to know that I will always be there for you no matter what.

So for all my best friends, out there I just wanted to give you a cheesy article on why you mean so much to me. I love you and I am so thankful that life has brought us together. Forever my soulmates.

Sincerely,

Emotional Friend
