They say that your college friends will be your friends for life, and I sincerely hope that's true. The friends that I made throughout my freshman year are unlike any other. They are my home, my rocks, my confidants and the best people that I have in my life. I couldn't imagine making it through my first year at college without them, they truly made it the best year of my life. I never would have imagined that I would meet people who would give me separation anxiety only days after we left for the summer.

So, here's to you guys. You rock.

Thank you for dealing with my many mental breakdowns.
Whether it was during finals week, or just because, you never thought I was insane (or you did, and you just kept it to yourself), and you nursed my mental state back to health. I would not have made it through two semesters of college if it weren't for you. Through the random spurts of crying and wanting to drop out, you kept me in one piece and got me through millions of tests and projects.

Thank you for making me laugh when I really needed it.
Somehow, no matter what mood I was in or how I was feeling, you always managed to make me laugh. You could always put a smile on my face and make me feel better, even if just for a minute. You have no idea how much that meant to me.

Thank you for always going out with me and making the best memories.
So many random, crazy, hilarious memories were made that I will never forget. ("I think I broke my ankle like that guy.")

And thank you for not going out with me when I knew you really wanted to.
Sometimes, you just want to stay in, put your hair up and eat pizza. And sometimes, you really wanted to go out when I really didn't, but you stayed and kept me company anyways, so thank you for that.

Thank you for binge-eating with me, without judgement.
Pizza, Easy Mac, Milano cookies, you name it. We tag-teamed it.

Thank you for keeping me company in the library.
Although we may not have gotten much done most of the time, you made it a little more bearable.

Thank you for listening to me rant.
You may have been pretending to listen, but that still meant a lot. Thanks for that.

Last but not least, thank you for sticking around.
