I can't believe it's here. The day we thought we'd been waiting for. The day we thought would be the best. It's the day we go to college and leave each other. The part we were excited for was the college part, we hadn't even thought about leaving each other, until now.

We thought college would be this exciting thing that we would be looking forward to when it happened, and it is, but when you spend the last four years with the same two people by your side, you definitely start wishing that time hadn't gone so fast.

These past four years have flown by and I really wish that I wasn't going to be hours away from the two people who I love most in this world, next to my family, of course.

One was new to our school at the beginning of freshman year, and I was lucky enough to have a few classes with her; the other had been one of my acquaintances since middle school, but we were assigned next to each other in an art class second semester, freshman year. It's crazy how the smallest coincidences can cause people to become so close.I'm not like most girls. I'm 18 and I've never had a boyfriend, so these girls are the closest thing I've had to one. The closest thing I've been to "being in love" is with them. I love them. They are my soul sisters. They are who I text when I'm sad or lonely, they are the only ones who can make me laugh when all I want to do is cry. That may sound weird, but if you have best friends, then I'm sure you know where I'm coming from.

When we graduated in June, it hadn't hit me that I would be leaving the people that mean so much to me behind; it didn't hit me until three whole months later.

It's hitting me now. I feel like my life is coming to an end, but really nothing is. Nothing's over. I will probably see them over Thanksgiving break and everything will come together. For now, I'm going to have to be okay with leaving them, but while we're apart there are definitely a couple pieces of me that will be missing.

By the time you are reading this, they will already have moved into their new homes, made new friends and learned new things about life.

I've never had separation anxiety or homesickness. But they are my home, and I think that I may experience both of those emotions from being away from them for so long. Maybe I won't, maybe I'll ignore it for a little while, but it will hit me eventually.

I do however know for a fact that we will be friends forever and nothing will stop us. Therefore, I won't let this affect my new experience in college, because I know that they won't replace me and I won't replace them; I could never. So, why worry?

Missing your best friends is completely normal, especially when you go to college, so I will accept that feeling and let myself feel that way. I will spend every second possible texting them even if they don't respond, because I know that it will feel good just to talk to them. So, this is my "see you later" letter to them, thank you for being my best friends. I love you both so much.

Thanks for making the past four years so memorable. I wish you both the best in college. You're going to do such big things!

I will never forget our late nights when we ordered pizza and talked about everything under the sun, or our ice cream dates. Everything has been an unforgettable memory with you guys, and I could not be more grateful.
