First of all, I want to say that I am genuinely grateful for you and your friendship. To think about the fact that this time last year we literally had no idea each other existed, and now we are inseparable is insane! If someone would have asked me a year ago who my best friend would be in a year, I would have said someone else; but, here we are.

Let me tell you, moving in with you and our two other roommates without knowing any of y'all was so scary. At the time of my life when I moved in with you, my life was, in every way, shape, and form, a complete wreck! So many things that year had gone wrong -- people came into my life and left just as quickly as they came. I knew in the back of my mind that we would get along, seeing as we are all in the same sorority (thank you, Kappa Delta), but I was still worried.

We didn't move in and immediately become best friends, but it did happen eventually, and I cannot even begin to find the words to express how thankful I am that God placed you in my life at the exact moment that I needed you. We are two peas in a pod, without a doubt. We have two completely opposite personalities, but I truly believe that is why we mesh together so well.

When I am being too nice to avoid hurting someone's feelings, you encourage me to stand up for myself and not let people walk all over me. When the stupid ex-boyfriend calls, you are there to remind me why we broke up to begin with and to ensure that I do not make a mistake by going back to him. Some days, all I want is Zaxby's boneless wings, and I know that no matter what you're doing, you'll drop it to go pig out with me. Our countless trips to Walmart and Target are what I live for. When we are at the gym and I want to give up, there you are to encourage me to keep going to reach my goals. I try to be a positive, happy, confident woman; however, there are days that I feel worthless. Those days you are there to look me in the eyes and tell me exactly what I need to hear. I love that you are always up for spontaneous trips to other universities where we make bad decisions, and do not judge each other for the things we witness each other do. You don't think of me any less when you witness me use a "cheat day" every day of the week, and you have no shame in joining me. I know there is truly nothing I could do that would make you love me less, just as there is no crazy insane thing you could ever do that would make me love you any less either. I am so thankful for all our adventures and memories we have made this far, and I cannot wait to see what else we can get ourselves into.

You are so kind, so loving, and so strong. You truly embody what it means to be a sister, and I cannot thank you enough. Thank you for being my best friend, sister, live-in therapist, workout partner, shopping buddy, and confidant.

Love,

Your random roommate turned best friend
