To My Best Friend Back At Home,

I cannot believe how long it has been since I’ve seen you. Its been almost three months and it's so weird to think that we haven’t been in each other's presence in so long. College has been great and all but I miss you terribly. I love it here but there really is nothing better than being home with my family and you, my best friend.

Although we didn’t see each other every day anyways, knowing we were in the same state was enough. Now we're over one hundred miles apart and it feels even further. Texting you and Facetiming you every day definitely eases the pain of not being with you but it’s just not the same. I miss not having my best friend right at my side when I need her.

You know everything that I have been through here, since day 1. I have given you every last detail about how much my life has changed throughout the semester. I think you know more about my life here than I do. I have changed, socially and mentally. But I cannot and will not forget my roots. Our friendship goes back for years and the people I have met on this campus will never understand me like you have for so long. My new friends have a lot of catching up to do! Sometimes it can become frustrating when I am feeling emotional or I just miss home, and I don’t have anyone to really turn to. I know I can shoot you a quick text or make a phone call, but you’re not always available. I know we are both running on two totally different schedules, but it can be really hard sometimes.

I keep counting down until break. I do not know when I’ll exactly see you next, but I really hope when I come home for Thanksgiving break, we will be able to catch up. I don’t care if I have to waste all the gas in my car to make that forty-five minute drive out to your house, because I know it will be worth it. All the time we have spent away from each other has to count for something. The wait will be totally worth it when I finally see you. However, it will suck when I’ll have to leave and go back to school. I don’t want to think that far but I can only think realistically.

All I can really conclude is that distance does not have anything on our friendship, I can promise you that. I know you will always be back home for me to go to when I need and I will always be here for you. You’re my best friend and you’ll never be replaced.
