To the roommate I'm not rooming with next semester:

Thank you.

Thank you for all of the amazing times we've had together in our dorm. Thank you for all of our late night talks, silly questions, stressful study sessions, encouraging Bible studies, and movie watching dates. Thank you for being quiet when I needed to study, loud when I needed to forget about my stresses for a couple hours, and comforting when I needed someone to talk to. Thank you for being the roommate I needed this year.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for all of the times I forgot to do something that might have annoyed you, the times I ate or drank something you might have wanted, and the times I wasn't there when you needed me. I'm sorry for the times I should've taken out the trash, the times I should've made my bed, or the times I left the door unlocked. Above all, I'm sorry for any times I failed to show how much I appreciate you and all of the things you've helped me with.

I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to miss our late night confessions of fears, hopes, and dreams. I'm going to miss singing and dancing around the room to songs we loved in middle school. I'm going to miss the every day things of getting to do life with you. I'll miss hearing your alarm go off three times until you finally wake up (okay, maybe not too much), and I'll miss playing our favorite music and hearing you hum while we study. I'm going to miss having you as my 24/7 college friend.

You will always be my friend.

Just because you won't be living in the same room as me, doesn't mean that you won't still be one of my closest friends. We will still go out for Zaxby's runs when we are tired of the caf. We will still drive out to Starbucks when we want to study off campus. We will still have movie nights where we can watch sappy romantic films and enjoy life. We will still be great friends next year.

Finally, I want you to know that I will never forget you.

I will never forget all of the amazing times we have had together this year and all of the college things we've gotten to do together. I will never forget our tiny decorated room and the fun times we've had there. I will never forget how much you mean to me and how much of my success this year I owe to you. My memories from this year will be with me throughout college and even after.
