And just like that, the best four years of my life have come to an end. Another chapter in my life has ended, while another is starting. This city will hold a special place in my heart. It's a place where I met some of many close friends, and a city where I have created many memories that I will cherish forever. I feel like it was yesterday we were freshmen in a brand new city all on our own. Its amazing to look back the past four years and see how much we have matured. The people we have met, the friends who started with you and ended with you and the friends that left.
We probably all have complained about about being here. Constantly questioning why we chose this school. But thats what made our college experience great. The good memories, and of course the bad ones, the ones we wish we will forget, yet we still laugh at them.
We owe our school a lot. It was the school that brought us together. It was the place that made us realize what we were meant to do. It is the place that taught us many valuable life lessons, the good and bad.It was a place where we had nights that we wanted to quit everything, yet the place that told us not too. It's the place that taught us that we can call two places home.
We've made it to the finish line, congratulations!. Now we are faced with saying goodbye. Saying goodbye to the friends who have been with you through the ups and downs. Whether you're leaving or them, seeing them everyday, crashing at their dorm room, the walks to residential dining, and endless coffee runs are now a memory. They are the ones you shared the bottle of wine with. Just remember, the real friends will keep in touch, so there's nothing to be worried about.
I wish you all the best as we go our separate ways. I wish I can press pause and stay with you guys forever, creating more memories. But we must start making our dreams a reality.
I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. Words can't thank you enough for everything you have done. You have all grown up to be such amazing people and I was lucky enough to see it first hand. Although you're leaving, and I am staying, I know you're always a phone call away, I know I have all the pictures, and the memories close to my heart. As I cry, know they are tears of happiness, because I am so lucky to have met you. I am lucky to call you my friend. You're a permanent addition to my life.
