As freshman year comes to a close, it is important to look back on the year and thank all of the people that got you through. For me, and for a lot of people, that is your roommates. No matter how many disagreements or fights may have happened, they were there for you for a whole year of awkward new friendships, happiness, crying, disappointment, excitement, and every other emotion in the book. So here's to you freshman year roommates.

Thank you for....

1. Being friendly on the first day.

2. Letting me eat your food and steal your clothes.

3. Motivating me.

4. Watching movies and eating ice cream with me when I was sad or homesick.

5. Listening to my problems and making me feel better.

6. Helping me work through life crises, no matter how big or small.

7. Teaching me how to be a good roommate.

8. Forgiving me for my mistakes.

9. Being excited for me when I got good news.

10. Being my first friend at college.

11. Never letting me go somewhere alone until I was ready.

12. Teaching me patience and understanding.

13. Letting me sleep, even if I go to bed super early.

14. Putting up with, and learning to love my weird habits and ways.

16. Missing me when I left for break.

17. Stalking my Facebook so you understood who I was, my life, and knew all about the people in all the stories I told you.

18. Always wishing me good luck before an exam, presentation, even class.

19. Saying "Aww" every time I show you pictures of babies in my family.

20. All of the memories and inside jokes.

21. Letting me mom you.

22. Making future roommate and dorm plans starting at literally the beginning of Freshman year.

23. Most of all, thank you for being the best roommate(s) and second family a girl could ask for.
