Dear Roomie,

It's crazy to think we have really only known each other for a few months, and only been living together for two. It seems like we've been best friends forever. Who would have thought we could pack so many adventures and memories into such a short amount of time?

When we first met in our freshman seminar class, never did I think you would become my best friend. Never did I think that you would become "My Person," the one who I can trust with anything, and the one who would really become my other half.

But then things changed. We both lifted each other out of the darkest of holes, the most challenging times that college could offer. Some may call it a coincidence, but I call it fate. It all lined up too perfectly: we both so desperately needed someone. We were the perfect fit: the same major, sorority sisters, both night owls, and our color schemes even matched!

From there, nothing would ever be the same again. Every night would turn into a story, every day into an adventure. I always dreamed of having a roommate who was my best friend, but I never thought that dream could actually come true.

Yet here we are, nobody I would rather be living my best life with. Nobody who could relate to me as well as you. Nobody who I'd rather spend nearly 24 hours a day with and share such an amazing college experience with.

So thanks for being the one to throw fake snow in the room at 2 a.m., and being the only other person I know who may shower at 3 a.m. Thanks for being someone who can procrastinate as long as I can and be just as much as a drama queen as myself. Thanks for putting up with me at my worst, especially when my worst comes at nearly 3 in the morning. Thanks for blasting "Congratulations" when we need a pick-me-up, for countless Starbucks runs, and for watching Grey's Anatomy on repeat.

Here's to all the Polaroids on the back of our door, the dumb quotes, the notes to the boys of room 302, the 12 days of Christmas gifts, our adorable holiday cards, the countless times we will redo the room, and all the more everlasting adventures.

So many have told me that we are practically attached at the hip and they are always surprised to see us apart. Hearing this always makes me smile. I can't wait to someday have you as my bridesmaid, and to tell my children of all our amazing times together. The stories we create are truly priceless. I have always wanted this person in my life and I am so beyond blessed that you are her. You're the Meredith to my Cristina, the Rachel to my Monica, the Zack to my and the best to my friend.

Girl, just know that no matter what...I'll be there for you, 'cause you're there for me too.

So here's to the next 3.5 years of being roomies and to a lifetime of memories.

Love,

Your Forever Thankful Roomie
