Dear Caroline and Emily,
I am writing this letter to say thank you for everything.
Thanks for dealing with my messes.
It's college and we're all busy. Life gets in the way and sometimes I forget to pick things up off the floor, or my closet is an absolute disaster. Thank you for being okay with the fact that I am not a clean freak, no matter how hard I try. For how small our room is, I am pretty proud of myself and all of us for not having it look like a bomb went off 24/7.
Thanks for being my go-to's for hair, outfits, and makeup.
When it is time to go out for the night, I sometimes struggle on how I should present myself for the night. I love that we always show each other our outfits, and ask each other what we're doing in terms of styling hair and doing makeup. It's always a party when all of us are getting ready for the night: music bumping, singing, dancing, the whole nine yards.
Thanks for constantly making me laugh.
Whether it's something that happened to us during the day, or for no reason at all, you both always are hilarious. I love how funny you both are, and it makes life more fun. Life is too short to be serious all the time. If I don't hear anyone's laughter from outside our room in the hallway, we're either not home, or there's something wrong.
Thanks for being shoulders to cry on and for offering words of wisdom.
I don't know where I would be without you guys when times are tough. You both always know how to look on the bright side of things, and know the right words to say. You're caring, and great listeners. When someone needs you, you're there for them no matter what.
I'm going to be completely 100% honest with you: sometimes I have absolutely no idea how to go about a situation and need help. Your advice couldn't be more helpful. You always speak from experience and with good intentions. It shows that you both truly care about whatever it is that is pressing at the moment.
Thanks for being breakfast/lunch/dinner buddies.
Whether it's meals at the house, going out to eat, or ordering in, it's good to know I have someone to get food with. It's fun to be able to catch up on what's going on in each other's lives after a busy day or week. Plus, it gives me an excuse to go out to eat (even though I probably should eat more at home). Also, there are restaurants that I never would have even tried if it weren't for going there with you guys.
Thanks for having my back no matter what.
As we get older, it's clear to see who are your friends and who are your foes. I couldn't be more thankful to have a group of people that I know would stand up for me in any situation. You both are some of the most supportive and reliable people I've ever met. It's hard to find that in a friend nowadays, so it is greatly appreciated.
The point is this: keep doing what you do.
You two aren't just my roommates. You're my best friends, the sisters I never had, and I couldn't be more grateful. I couldn't be luckier to have you guys as my roommates, and the memories of Room 10 will be with me forever. You're both some of the amazing, kind, compassionate, intelligent, dedicated women I've ever met. I know you both are going to go so far and achieve your goals. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you both.
Thanks for everything, Emily and Caroline.
