With just under 3 weeks left of my freshman year! I want to thank all of the people that have helped me survive.
To my friends that I have made: I cannot thank you enough for being there for me, and for all of the fun memories that we have made. From sitting in the dining hall for hours just talking, to having spontaneous movies nights where we watch low rated horror movie and make fun of them—these are the memories that I will always remember. When first arriving on campus we all were feeling the same way; frightened from not knowing anyone, shy and even anxious. All of the bonding activities that we were subjected to only helped us all find each other and become friends! Having you guys as friends has helped my freshman year fly by, and I cannot thank you enough. We laugh and cry together, and we are always there for one another. Thank you guys for helping me survive freshman year and I cannot wait to see what lies in the future.
To my roommate: Thank you for living with me for an entire year and putting up with my crazy ways! I will always remember the late night conversations that we have had, and the conversations where we just can’t stop laughing. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on when I have been overwhelmed with all of the schoolwork I have, and other life issues. I will always remember our crazy food cravings at 12 in the morning, where I would wake up to you randomly trying to eating an apple quietly, which just ended up in both of us laughing so hard we could not breathe. Thank you for all of the fashion advice even if it’s at 8 a.m. and all we want to do is go back to bed. Having you as a roommate has been the best experience in my life, because let’s just say living with each other was an experience. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us and even though we won’t be roommates next year, just know that you will always see me around and I bet we will be in each other’s room at some point.
To the upperclassman: You guys have helped me feel welcome to school and the new experiences that come with college! Thank you for all of the advice of what classes to take and what to do around campus! Thank you for the new friendships that I have formed with you and the leadership that you have given me.
A final thank you is to my team: Thank you guys for helping my freshman year of playing a college sport a great one! Thank you for the memories we have made while traveling to different places! I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us! And to the graduating senior; good luck and stay in touch—you will be missed.
