With the end of the semester quickly approaching, I find myself a bit more sentimental than usual. Looking back on the semester, I couldn’t imagine it being the same without my incredible friends. In college it is easy for your friends to become your family. I spend all my free time with them. They know so many aspects of my persona. They’ve seen me delirious from lack of sleep, they’ve seen me bopping with energy when something great happens. They are there for those nights I just want to eat Chinese food and watch Netflix and the nights where I want to dance until I can’t feel my feet anymore. They are there when I need advice, when I need to vent, when I need someone to laugh with, and when I just need company.

Each and every one of you is so unique and talented in your own right. I feel so blessed not only know you, but call you one of my closest friends. I learn so much from your unique insights on life. I love how you have taught me to look at things in a new light. From teaching me to make mandalas, to sharing your favorite video game with me, to getting me addicted to a new show, or helping me to discover my new favorite songs you are all constantly adding amazing things to my life. My favorite advice to give are the lines you've told me. You're strong independence has inspired my own. Each of you have helped me to become a better version of myself.

I don't know if you will ever be able to recognize just how much you add to my life. I'm so grateful to have all of you wonderful people in my life.

Lots of Love,

Jess
