The goal I set for myself in high school for college was to get through these four years without making friends in my major. I know that sounds harsh, but being a highly competitive major, I was worried about what would happen if I had to compete for something against a friend, and I thought how badly that could turn out. I'm very driven when it comes to my major, so I thought I could do it, and just focus on getting where I want to go, but then, as cliché as it sounds, I met you.

I remembered you from when we were in the same tour group the year before, and that's initially how we started talking. Looking back at this year now, I never would have imagined us getting this close, but here we are, sending each other memes at 2 a.m., and singing "High School Musical" in your car as we drive through downtown. You were my support last semester, when none of my other friends were there for me, and you still are. While everyone else in my life is slowly drifting from me, you seem to be getting closer. I've never had a friend where we connected so well in such little time as we have, and it makes me excited for years to come to see where our friendship will take us.

I want to thank you, for cheering me up when I'm sad, for keeping me sane when it comes to my major, for always being supportive of me and what I want to do, for sending me close-up videos of myself during class and making me laugh. We already have so many memories and inside jokes from just this year alone that could last me a lifetime. When you told me you were leaving school, I was honestly so "shocked and betrayed" (I'm kidding).

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without you these next three years, but I'm going to miss you as much as I miss the Jonas Brothers being a band. These next few years are going to be brutal for me without you, but I know you'll come visit little ol' me. I love you, and thanks for being the Dionne to my Cher.
