We all have friends, and often we think about where we would be without these great people?

You have your best friends.

You have your going out friends.

You have your work friends.

What about the real MVPs? Those people who understand you in ways that your best friends cannot even comprehend. It is time to thank those in-class friends. What is the in-class friend? It is that person. Your person. The one who has your back, manages to always save you a seat and the one who can laugh about your professor's weird habits with you. They are the ones who truly get the "school" you. They are the ones you need to thank. So here it is:

Thank you friend, for always knowing the assignments when I forget.

I can never thank you enough for that midnight text the night before a big assignment is due. I leaped for joy when you reminded me of the test tomorrow. As much as I wished the answer was "none", I thank you for telling me about the homework I always forgot to write down. Thank you for being on your "A" game when I am not, and I will always be there when you need me too!

Thank you for waking me up from my mid-class snooze.

Because of all-nighters studying or deals at the bar, college student's lack of sleep is all too relevant. Whether it is the poking of the pencil, the obnoxious coughing, or a nice tap on the back, you have your methods of saving me from sleeping my classes away. You saved me from relentless teachers and embarrassing Snapchats, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

Thank you for not letting me drop out and pursue some ridiculous career.

Without you I would have dropped out and be working as God knows what by now. Maybe not, but you have definitely put up with my breakdowns over the stress, and hours of me contemplating my jobs if I were to give it all up. You knew how to pick me up and convince me that it will all be worth it... and one day I will realize you are right.

Thank you for truly understanding me.

You just get it. You know how hard my one class is, and know how my professors are crazy. While my best friends tell me, "It cannot be that bad," you know how horrible some courses can be. You are there to vent with me about the bad grade or ridiculous assignment we were given. You are there for me when I struggle to pick my schedule for next semester. You have been there for the hard projects, the late nights studying, the laughs and the tears.

In-Class friend, you are more than that to me. You are a true friend and for that I thank you!

The day will soon come when graduation rolls around. When getting that degree, I will be thinking about all the people who I owe thanks to. My parents, for obvious reasons. My professors, for providing me with an education. My friends and family, for being supportive. Most of all a big thanks to you! You got me through school, helped me out along the way and in that time you gave me a friendship that I cannot forget. In-class friend, I could never thank you enough!
