There are few bonds in the world like the bond between roommates. The person you live with learns everything about you. There are going to be amazing times and days when you never see each other. But at the end of the day, they’re your person, and you know that without them, you wouldn’t survive this crazy thing we call college.

Thanks for keeping me accountable.

Without you, it is very possible that some days I would just stay in bed. Life gets really hard sometimes, and you make sure that I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing. When I don’t want to do my homework, you make me do it anyways. You care about my education as much as you care about your own. Having you around and watching you do your best inspires me to always do my best.

Thanks for being a great listener.

There are times when I know you just want to go to sleep, but you stay awake and listen to me complain or laugh at stupid things. Sometimes I know you fall asleep, but the fact that you were that tired and still tried to listen is enough for me to always say thank you. You are such a wonderful person who always listens, even if it’s dumb. You care enough about me to give up your sleep (which I know you love) to listen to me.

Thanks for not judging me when I cry.

Life is never easy. You know this and I know this. And those days when I’m just crying and upset, you don’t ignore me. I can’t count the number of times when you just let me cry and get everything out, only to pick me back up and tell me to keep living.

Thanks for having my back.

You are always going to be the first person I call if I need to hide a body. You are the person I call when I've had one too many drinks. You are the person that I text when I'm in an awkward situation and need help. You're my person.

Thanks for being a PERFECT roommate.

Sometimes I really question if I’ll ever have a roommate that’s as great as you are. You have set the bar pretty dang high for any roommate to come in the future. I couldn’t ask for a better person to live with. You make living with someone look so simple because for us, it’s that easy. You rock, dude. Thanks for being great.
