As I am sitting here getting ready to take my last final of my freshman year in college I just want to thank you for being here for me through the ride. It was a scary time first moving in as many things were about to change. We packed up our things, hit the road to college, our parents helped us move in, and then they left us to figure out adulthood by our self's. I’m glad I could experience my freshman year with you two by my side because there in no one else who would and could put up with me.

Thank you for being there for me even when you had better things to do. Freshmen year brought me many mental breakdowns but you were always there for me. Thank you through the times you were there for me during my stress tears, missing my family tears, tears because I just felt like crying, and any other tears that I did not mention. Thank you for letting me vent to you about school things or personal things. Thank you for telling me that I had plenty of time to do a homework assignment when I was freaking out and that it was not due for another week. Thank you for telling me to stop freaking out when I was worried about literally nothing because it wasn’t worth it. Thank you for being there with me during finals and telling me that I will do fine even if I didn’t believe you. Even if I told the same story over and over again thank you for still listening to it and helping me through it. If it weren’t for you I am pretty sure my freshman year would have been a lot more stressful then it was because you told me to calm down multiple times.

Thank you for telling me that my outfit looked dumb or that I looked really cute even though I didn’t. Thank you for being my personal stylist. Thank you for making me look cute because the guys in my class were not bad to look at. Thank you for telling me that I had cute clothes or that they did not look too “ghetto.” If it weren’t for you I would have gone to class in sweatpants and a t-shirt every day. Also, a huge thank you for dressing up with me on days that I wanted to so I didn’t look weird and then taking a picture with me so people knew that I did not look homeless every day. If it weren’t for you, people in my class would literally think I owned two articles of clothing.

Thank you for loving food as much as I do. If it wasn’t for you I would have sat in the cafeteria alone eating gourmet Sodexo food. Thank you for coming with me even if you did not want to get out of bed or you were actually busy. Thank you for letting me never eat in the cafeteria alone because you know that is one of my biggest fears. Thank you for then complaining with me about how much the food sucked but then went back to the café for dinner. Thank you for putting up with my crappy attitude because I was “hangry” Thank you for being in support of late night food runs and not judging me on how much money I did spend that night. Thank you for driving me to not only Culvers but also McDonalds because I felt like both. If it weren’t for you I would think I was starving even though I just ate two hours ago.

Thank you for following the "what's mine is yours" rule. I can’t thank you enough for letting me take all of your plastic silverware when I did not have any or was too lazy to get mine. Thank you for letting me eat your food when you both knew I had some right across the hall in my room. Thank you for letting me borrow your lotion because I liked the smell of yours so much better. Thank you for letting me use your hairspray, perfume, ponytails, and anything else that I took from you. Thank you for letting me sit in your chairs even though you were going to. Thank you for letting me take multiple naps in your beds because I was tired and just happened to fall asleep. If it weren’t for you I would have run out of my stuff a lot sooner than I did.

Thank you for any of the adventures we took. If it was just to the store or to get food, we always made it fun. There was no one else that I would rather go to get food at 2 AM or see random guys playing instruments outside of Walmart. I could not imagine going on these adventures with anyone else but you two. We probably thought it was funnier than most did but we always had fun. Thank you for the adventures that we had in the dorm room just talking or making fun of one another. Thank you for laughing along when we wanted to pretend that we were John Cena or when we told embarrassing stories from our childhood. Thank you for the countless inside jokes and random outbursts of laughter.

Thank you for just letting me talk to you about everything under the sun. Thank you for letting me share my memories from back home even when you don’t understand them. Thank you for letting me tell you all about my high school and the friends that came with it. Thank you for letting me tell you about my countless hypothetical boyfriends that I had because I had a class with them or I saw them for a split second in the library or around campus. Thank you for letting me talk about my ex-boyfriends from back home or the guys that I was talking to on Tinder. Thank you for letting me complain about my homework that I did not want to do. Thank you for letting me talk about the people who annoy me and talk me out of not killing them. Thank you for letting me talk about the weird dream that I had the night before. Thank you for letting me talk about my goals in life and where I want to be 4 years from now.

Lastly thank you guys for being you and being my friends. Thank you for creating the bond of being best friends in college. We met just a couple months back but it feels like I have known you for years. You have seen more sides of me than most people and you still decided to stick around. Thank you for just being yourselves because I wouldn’t want it any other way. You two are the most amazing people that I have ever met in my life and it was a blessing to meet you. Thank you for being able to put up with my crappy attitudes. Thank you for still sticking by my side when I pushed you away and we bumped heads. Thank you for being genuinely happy when something good happened to me or if I was excited about something. Thank you for still being my friend after I embarrassed you multiple times in public. Thank you for being my mom instead of my friend in moments where I needed a mom. Thank you for just being my best friends. Without you, freshmen year would be a lot less fun and I wouldn’t have smiled as often.

There is so much that I could thank you for but I just want you to know that I appreciate all that you have done for me and that I wouldn’t have been able to make it through my first year of college without you. The goals and dreams that I have and shared with you won't be the same if you guys are not by my side to see them so please stick around. Even if you want to punch me in the face ever so often.
