To my three best friends,
We made it through our first year away from home without killing each other or burning our place down. That alone I believe is a huge accomplishment considering the fact that it took us almost two hours to put together book shelves when we first arrived only a few short months ago.
Together we have made it through break ups, laundry disasters, sickness and injuries. Through the tough classes, early mornings and late night study sessions.
To think that this year is almost over and that I am going to be spending the next few months without you all. I honestly can say that I don't know what I would do without your jokes, funny comments, love and affection.
I often find myself wondering what it is that I am going to do in order to make it through the summer without seeing you guys each and everyday. I know that we have had a problems. That we have gone through rough patches, times in which we wanted to hurt each other and never talk to one another again. We have had a disagreements on a lot of things. But in most ways that is to be expected since we all come from such different places. We have all had different upbringings and have different opinions on situations of life. Not only that but we all trying to learn how to fit into a new place. Into something that we have never had to deal with. All the different stresses that come with living away from home and the added chores that we need to do. It can be hard.
Even through the hard times you guys were always there for me. There for me when I was sick and couldn't get out of bed. You were there to get me water or get my medicine. When I needed a ride to the doctors sure enough you guys were then too.
You were there for me after I had boy or friend trouble. When I came home mad because something had happened or I was sad when things didn't go my way. Whether that was to calm me down, talk things out or take me to Walmart to get ice cream in the middle of the night. Whatever it was that I needed at the time.
But most of all you were the ones that I met first. The ones that came to the cafe and ate with me during every meal until we stared to know other people. And even then you never left my side.
You taught me so much about everyday things that I may have never figured out. Such as laundry tips, makeup or my clothing choices.
You were there when I had to decide what to wear to an event, to help me with my makeup on a special occasion and tell me when something didn't look right. To inform me on the new trends and me laugh when I made a mistake.
You are the ones that have always supported me and the decisions that I have made no matter what they were. Because at the end of the day y'all would always tell me that you just wanted me to be happy and if that choice was going to make me happy than that is what I should do.
You are the ones that I made plans with during the weekends so I would always have something to do. The ones in which I have the most memories with because we have spent the most time together. You guys are the ones that I'm going to be able to tell my family about when I get older and say all the weird stories that we have shared together.
I can't wait to see what the next few years will bring us and our friendship. What is it that we will be able to share next.
Even if we have some sort of disagreement I know that at the end of the day we will figure it out.
I wouldn't trade this year in for anything.
I love you guys to the moon and back and I can't wait to spend the next few years with you guys.
