Saying goodbye was easier this time. There were no tears. There was minimal sadness. We knew that both of us were returning back to a place we love- a place filled with familiarity and friends. Going back to college as sophomores means we have a whole year under our belts. There was a great deal of comfort in saying goodbye this time around. Instead of sadness, we are happy. There is excitement in knowing we will have new stories to share the next time we return back home.

So thank you for the memories we created this summer. It was great to work with you every day of the week. Nothing beat the 7 a.m. wakeup to pick each other up and head to work. Even after a long day of work, thank you for choosing to hang out with me for the rest of the night. You never got sick of seeing my face every day. Even if we were sitting around being bored, it was nice to have each other’s company again before heading back to our separate campuses.

Now that we are separated once again, I want to make sure you know how much I appreciate your friendship. Even after being apart for a whole school year, you are the person who knows me the best. You keep me sane and always provide the best advice. You rock bff. I’d be lost without you.

As we go into our sophomore year, I want to wish you the best of luck. Have tons of fun, make mistakes, study hard, and keep being awesome. Make many more friends but don’t let any replace me. I’ll see you next break. I love you lots.

Xoxo,

Your bff
