1. Dear Paige

From the first selfie we ever took together I knew we were going to be the closest of friends. From living down the hallway in our dorms freshman year to living in an apartment together our friendship has grown into one of my favorites. You are a beautiful intelligent girl spreading positive energy with your upbeat outgoing personality.

You say you have a wall built up to avoid being hurt but you don't even know how strong you really are. You are my favorite person to make impulse decisions with and our friendship is one of a kind but I love every second of it. I can't wait to see where our friendship takes us in the future and hopefully we can still play expert on guitar hero when we're old and wrinkly.

Thank you for being you and always being my Paige.

2. Dear Cheyene

When I found out you were one of my roommates freshman year, I of course like any other person looked you up on every social media platform to see what you were like. At first I was skeptical as any person is when receiving a roommate they don't know prior to coming to college. After getting to know you first semester you have become one of my favorite people!

We connect because we come from a similar lifestyle and it has made us grow closer as friends. I'm so lucky to have met a smart wise girl like you. Who would've thought that a girl you've only known for one school year would become a person you get an apartment with? I love you and I thank you for always being there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on at 2 a.m. when i'm freaking out over nothing.

3. Dear Hayden

Hayden, I wish we were this close last year also. I feel cheated at the fact that we've only been tight for a couple months. You are the bomb.com and I've never had a friend like you. You are goofy and funny and have the kindest heart in the whole wide world!

Thank you for making breakfast or inviting me over for dinner and letting me wrap your Christmas presents. Your kind soul is one that I will be a big fan of forever! You're always there when I need to vent or if i'm simply just bored out of my mind. Either way, I'm extremely thankful that I got to know you better and grow closer as friends as we take care of our build-a-bear buddy. Thank you for being the coolest dude ever and coming into my life, becoming one of my closest friends.

4.Dear Caleb

The first time we met we instantly connected because you complimented my shirt and I was obsessed with the color of your shorts. From that point on we've been partners in crime running around "skeeting." I would not trade our friendship for the world.

There may be times were we don't disagree or the world may seem like it's against your thoughts but just know that I will always be proud of you. You have overcome darkness by finding your own light and you are on your way to doing great things. I love every silly moment we've shared together and I’ll never forget all of our laughs.

5. Dear Morgan & Kat & Maddie 

I had to put the three of you in one because you three lived down the hall from me in the dorms and also are from my hometown. It shocks me how we all are from the same home town but never knew of each other before college. I couldn't picture my life without the three of you because it honestly just wouldn't be the same.

I can always count on any of you to "gas" me up before going out to a party and to just laugh at each other for being silly. From going out to dinner for each others birthdays to becoming close friends I truly admire each of you as you all are three of the best souls I know. Laughter, beauty, and true loyalty are my favorite qualities about each of you. There will be many more years of me running and jumping on your beds to tell you happy birthday.

6. Dear Matt

MATT!!!! You have got to be one of the most awesome boy I've ever met. From day one we have been two peas in a pod. My favorite thing about you is that I could text you at any time of the day and tell you I'm bored and you'll come over and watch a Christmas movie with me. You're goofiness is my favorite quality because i'm just as goofy so our personalities compliment each others. I thank you for always having my back, I can always count on you.

If only Christian were still here at CSU we'd have our little posse back together.

7. Dear Gabe 

Saved the best for last I guess. I'm so glad we met at orientation because coming into college last year you were one of the only people I really knew besides Bethany. I could go on and on about how much I appreciate our friendship. You are a goofy boy with a big heart and I love when we hate on Paige for not liking Domino’s pizza, because let's be real it's 10x better than Papa John's.

Thank you for never judging me and always giving me your wise words when I was going through a hard time. I can always come to you about anything and have a better mindset after you spoke some sense into me. I always tell people you're my favorite friend I've made at college. I'm proud of you and I will miss you when you leave for the Air Force very much.
