We met in class earlier this semester, and at first we only talked because we're doing a group project together.

We started to talk a little more when we were both going the same way and I needed to rant to someone about personal drama, which may have been awkward, but rather than point out its awkwardness...you listened. From there on out, we made a habit of going to have lunch or sit somewhere and talk, and we've talked about so much. Girl, let me tell you, that's way closer than I have EVER been with a classmate. You've become more than just a classmate, though; you've become my friend.

You're such a genuinely nice person. I feel like we could talk about anything and you wouldn't be judgmental. I can always confide in you about how I'm feeling. You offer great advice, and on a few occasions recently, you've been a shoulder to cry on. I'd have been positively miserable all day on a few days this past month had it not been for you. You're so supportive and you always try and build me up when I let my self-doubt and others' opinions get the best of me. You're always so generous and you even went out of your way to lend me your shoes when I made the silly decision to wear heeled boots that kill my feet to school. You're truly a diamond in the rough.

I hope you know that I genuinely appreciate you. You can always confide in me as well, and I'm so glad we became friends. I hope we'll stay friends for a long time, because you're one of the best people I've met in college-it's just a shame we didn't meet before now! I know it might be hard since you plan on graduating from Alabama instead of KSU, as has always been your dream, but I promise I'll try to keep in touch. But until then, I can't wait for more rants about our professor, more adorable anecdotes about you and your boyfriend, and more Panda Express and Chick-Fil-A.
