Dear Freshman Year,

It’s crazy to think how fast freshman yet, and that it's coming to an end. I definitely learned a lot about myself this year. Especially this semester in particular. I’ve experienced both the ups and downs of college. But I’ve forever blessed for memories that I’ve created my first year of college. I don’t think I would have done anything different.

Thank you for letting me find a place that I feel comfortable. Everything about this school is perfect for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made. Choosing to go to this school was definitely the best fit for me. I love the feeling that this school gives me every day that I’m there.

Thank you for giving me the best roommate I could ask for. I honestly would be lost with my roommate. I’m happy that I found her on the Facebook page because college wouldn’t be the same without her. She became like my sister and a best friend extremely fast. I will never forget the amount of adventures we took throughout this year and cannot wait for next year.

Thank you for bringing my best friend / non-roommate roommate to me. It funny to me to think one of the people I became friends with in college has the same name as me. I would be lost without the amount of the times you were to hear me rant or when I needed someone to talk too. You were always there for me no matter what. You found time for me.

Thank you for teaching me time management. This is something that I definitely am still working on but I definitely learned a lot about in college. I don’t know how I would have gone through college without learning time management.

Thank you for challenging me. Although I didn’t always like the challenges that were thrown at me it taught me how to handle it. It taught me how to balance different assignments that are due on the same day.

Thank you for introducing me to great people. I am very lucky with the people I’ve met my freshman year of college. They are all great people that I hope I continue to be friends with throughout the years of college.

Thank you for helping realize that life is to short for regrets. Once something happens you just have to let it go. You cannot allow it to bother you because it will quickly ruin you.

Thank you for helping me realize who is there for me and who isn’t there for me. People who are there for you will show it, and those who don’t care will not be in your life.

Thank you for helping me realize how important it is to talk to your best friends at home on a daily basis. You are all going through the experience of college at the same time. It’s good to see what’s going on in their lives and to hear about their friends. I’m happy that I talk to my best friends on a daily basis. Nothing has changed with them and nothing will.

Thank you for helping me realize what I wanted to do with my life. What I wanted to do when I first started college is not what I’m going to be doing.

Thank you for helping me becoming the person I am today. I’ve definitely changed a lot for the good during freshman. I’ve become more confident and independent. I definitely grew up a lot.

Thank you for all the memories. I will definitely not forgot the memories I made freshman year, and I cannot wait to see what Sophomore years has in store.
