During college, you get the joys of roommates, but sadly it doesn't last forever. The very dreaded day of one of your roommates leaving to go to the adult world arrives before you [both] wish it would. The first few days are really weird. There's not anyone playing Adele's "Hello" on repeat every.single.day. and who is going to talk you into ordering that Jimmy Johns that they just KNOW you want? Who is going to take your sass and match it, but also be someone you can talk to when your phone conversations with your best friend just don't seem to be enough? Roommates are a special kind of friend. One second, you could be fighting about the dishes needing to be cleaned, and the next you could be laughing uncontrollably until there are tears running down your face and ruining your makeup. There is so much that your roommate does that you don't realize until the final days of living with them come up. While you're proud of their accomplishments, you're also sad that they didn't fail so they could stay longer. It's time for them to go into the real world though, and while it's hard to see them go- you do have some things you want to say to them as they go into the big girl world.
I was lucky when I signed the lease to be one of your roommates, but I never imagined how one semester of being your roommate could give me so many emotions. We laughed until we cried more times than I could count, we helped each other get through drama, we were sass queens together and you helped form my coffee addiction. You dealt with my stories that I thought were funny, and you encouraged me to get through the day when it wasn't easy. I know sometimes I wasn't easy to deal with, but you were always someone I knew I could talk to. Thank You for always being supper bubbly and for being sunshine to my day. Also, thank you for the days where you blasted music and I acted like I was judging you while doing my homework.
I don't want to get sappy, but you know I will...
I am so happy that I got the chance to be your roommate, even if it was only for three months. You made this Fall semester an interesting one. I was so thankful to be a part of your senior year, and that I was across the hallway from an amazing role model that has taught me so much in the time that I have known you. I know you're going to have an amazing and happy adulthood, because your optimism is through the roof and it brings out the greatness in you and everyone around you.
Thank You for washing my dishes when I forgot, and being an amazing friend. I am going to miss you here at Hotel 102, and I hope you know you always are welcome.
Forever 102.
