Dear Roomies,

As we enter our second semester of Junior year, I reflect back on all the great memories we have had together. I can't believe everything we've been through and all the fun times we have had. I'm writing this letter to thank you for all the memories, and more importantly, the friendships we have created.

The first day we moved in together, I wondered what it would be like living with my closest friends. Everyone always says its difficult to live with your best friends because it could ruin your friendship. After this year, I would disagree. Living with you guys has made our relationship stronger than ever. Of course, we have had our share of problems, but overcoming those has brought us closer together. There have been many times where I needed my space, but I wouldn't be any to be surrounded by anyone else at the end of the day.

I want to take this time to say thank you for everything. Thank you for supporting me, even when you didn't agree with what I was doing. Thank you for listening to me, even though you heard the same thing three times before. Thank you for all the advice, especially when you knew I probably wasn't going to follow it. You have all been there for me in many different ways, and I don't know what I would do without you.

Most importantly, thank you for being such great roommates. I know I may not always be the easiest person to live with, but we have somehow made it fun to be together. There is nothing better than knowing you have your best friends by your side at all times of the day. Whether it is 11 a.m. stressing about a test, or 1 a.m. crying about a boy, you guys have always been there to listen and make me laugh, even at times I didn't think possible.

Living together has bonded us more tightly than anyone could imagine. Even leaving for breaks is difficult with us all living in different towns and states. We may text or call, or even meet up over break, but it is so hard to be so far away from each other. We get so used to being around each other that even a weekend a part feels strange. I can't imagine what it will be like when we graduate. We may all go our separate ways, but I do not think the distance will ever get in the way of our relationship.

I want to thank you each for being the best friends I could ever ask for. While moving into a new place away from home can be incredibly hard, each of you made it a great experience. We have come so far and I can't wait to see where our future takes us. Thanks for always supporting me and for all the fantastic memories we have created.

Love,

Your Roomie
