Dearest Roommate,
When I look back, it' s hard to imagine how I survived 18+ years without knowing you. I, in all honesty, don't know how I spent the majority of my life without you by my side. Seriously, who did I used to go get ice cream with late at night? How did I ever binge Netflix shows alone and whose advice did I take, whether it be about boys, clothes, or study habits?
But as hard as it is to remember a time where I didn't know you, it's even harder picturing a future where you will no longer be my roommate. I'm terrified for this day to come, because, frankly, I miss you when you're gone to class for an hour. How am I supposed to spend the rest of my life without you right by me?
The thought of living with someone else, or living on my own even, is unfathomable. I don't know how I'll do it. But as much as the uncertainty scares me, I also know that distance has nothing on us.
You have been my best friend throughout college. You have seen me at my worst, picked me up when I was down, and celebrated my highs with me. You are in all of my favorite memories. There is nothing I would change about my college experience, and I know that is because of you. You have made these years some of the best of my life, and even if we won't be living together in the future, I know we will still be best friends.
Roommates share a bond so strong that I know, wherever we end up, we will stay close. There's this invisible tether that will keep us connected. No one will be able to replace you.
I hope you know how much I love you, how much I appreciate your support and laughter. It's your faith and kindness that makes me a better person. You inspire me. You are one of the best people I know, and while not having you constantly by my side will require some major adjustments, we will survive what comes next. I'm always a phone call, text, or trip away. Know that I am forever thankful for your presence in my life. It has been a blessing to live with you and I can't wait to make more memories with you, whether that be as roommates or as post-graduate friends who once lived together.
Thank you for being you. Thank you for loving me. It's been a wild ride and I cannot wait for what comes our way.
Love always,
Your Roommate.
