To the friends I met my freshman year,
As the summer comes to a close and classes are going to starting soon, I thought I would write this to you as we venture into our second year together.
Thank you for being there for me through the long nights, and the great memories we made together. Thank you for being you and helping me be the best person I could possibly be. For texting me late at night for advice, or telling me I'm just being crazy. For spending almost every day with me making memories together that we will never forget, even though some of them we wish we could. Thank you for picking me up when I was down. Thank you for always being there and supporting my decisions. For going to "study" with me even though we usually ended up talking the whole time.
We spent most of last year together and after this summer being away from each other I have realized that yes, you can be friends with someone that lives what seems forever away from you. We made some memories together last year and I can't wait to see what happens this year. You are just as crazy as I am and I don't know how I would have made it through the last year without you guys. I will never forget our weird conversations at midnight sushi, or the spontaneous plans to go to Taco Bell at 2 am only to realize no one actually wanted anything. The jam sessions in the car rides to Mississippi, or the heart-to-heart conversations about life.
I have realized that most of the people i met my freshman year I will probably never speak to again and looking through my contacts I realize that I don't remember who half of them are. I learned a lot my freshman year and that is that it's okay not to be friends with every single person you meet.
I have, however, found my people and have learned a lot from them, and for that I am grateful.
