College is tough. Fun, but tough. Nobody can really prepare you for getting lost trying to find the gym, or how terrible 8 am's actually are, but I wouldn't have wanted to figure it all out with anyone else! Every long night at the library seems better spent when we can take a break to laugh about something stupid we saw on twitter. Through all of the really bad food days at the dining hall, I'm so thankful I had someone to run back to the dorm and binge on snacks and microwave mac n cheese with.
And I won't even begin to talk about how much fun gamedays, frat parties, and taking weekend roadtrips have been with you! Explaining all of our good times, inside jokes, and stupid mistakes turned funny stories would just take too long. What I really want to say is thank you. Thank you for learning how to 'college' with me. Thanks for forcing me to study for just a little longer, or telling me to take a break when you know I really needed it. Thanks for being my gym buddy, my go to food date, the person who's always down to rap old songs at the top of our lungs, and my first real college best friend.
We've seen each other through the stressful times, when our workload and our exam schedule just won't seem to give us a break. Through all the hilarious, weird moments that seem to happen quite a bit (I'm not complaining though). We've seen each other through all the college 'firsts' - exams, sorority functions, accidentally sleeping through class, learning to love microwaveable food, our first football game as a student, and so much more. Doing all of these things just wouldn't have been as enjoyable without you by my side. And that is why I know that you'll be around to do all of these firsts with me again for the very last time, four years from now.
XO, your first college roommate and best friend.
