I was blessed with a really incredible roommate this past year. Since August, we've been known as two peas in a pod, or more specifically, blonde and "other blonde". Through stress, success, and a lot of late night dance parties, we've laughed our way through freshman year, and I couldn't have done it without her.

1. Forgiving me after I accidentally shrunk your dress in the wash.

Apparently washing on cold and airdrying doesn't always prevent shrinkage.

2. Buying my food when I didn't have time to go to the store.

Not to mention eating it after.

3. Listening to me stress rant.

It happens.

4. Making my bed or writing me notes when I was in desperate need of motivation.

Little blessings like that go the longest way.

5. Being my Monday night dinner date...actually my every night dinner date.

Especially for exploring almost every Mexican restaurant in College Station with me.

6. Coming to Harry's with me countless times even though you don't like country music.

And sometimes being my dance partner.

7. Being dedicated and steadfast in your faith and your beliefs.

Truly your light for the Lord is incredible and inspires me every day.

8. Letting me watch Kathy Lee and Hoda every morning.

Honestly, I'm part college student part middle-aged mother of three.

9. Accepting my goofiness.

For instance when I say silly stuff and can't stop laughing at myself.

10. Our roommate speakerphone calls to my mom.

Because sometimes my mom needs to be caught up with both our drama.

11. Having grace with me when I spill stuff or make a mess.

It happens too often to count.

12. Motivating me through my anxiety.

Especially supporting my stressed self through it.

13. Buying me a smoothie or two.

I think we both agree that you can never have too many Angel Food smoothies from Smoothie King.

14. Being just as obsessed (if not more obsessed) about Disney as I am.

It's a rare quality. I can't count the number of times we watched Disney movies or listened to Disney theme park music this past year.

15. Helping me beat the clock to turn in my chemistry homework on time.

I think we're both thankful I changed my major to liberal arts.

16. Letting me borrow your curling iron.

Along with hairspray and conditioner among other things.

17. Letting me put up a six-foot Christmas tree in our room.

Including for not calling me crazy when I called you asking if I should buy it.

18. Forgiving me when I wake you up at 6:30 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so I can get ready for my 8 a.m.

Especially when I forget to turn off my other alarms.

19. Reading all my Odyssey articles!

I can't even tell you how much I appreciate the support!

20. Letting me borrow your dresses, jewelry, etc.

You always have the perfect thing to go with every outfit.

21. Motivating and loving me through Freshman year the way only a best friend can.

And I know we will be best friends for a long time after.
