I've never been that great at making friends. Especially friends with girls. I grew up with a younger brother and older boy cousins who taught me what it was like to run through the woods, play with worms and make mud pies. I was always a slight tomboy, which was fine but made it hard to make friends with girls at a young age. Since I started college I have been able to step out of my comfort zone and gained many more remarkable people in my life. Besides just gaining friends I have also gained sisters, and possibly the best sisters I could have.

Dear Sisters,

I am so happy to be able to officially call you that. I want to congratulate all of you because you all worked so hard and made this finally happen for us. You finally gave us a sisterhood to be a part of. You are not only the reason that this happened, but you, as my sisters, are the reason why our sisterhood is so amazing.

The main thing I am hoping to do with this article is to thank every single one of you. Thank you for forming an amazing sisterhood, not only buisness wise. You have given me so much more than sisters. You have given me the confidence to succeed. I now have people to be there for me rooting me on when I have a really hard test or huge paper due. I have sisters looking out for me making sure I am doing the best I can.

Thank you for making me realize I am not alone. I have always felt like the world and everyone in it was fighting against me. Like many other people, I go through rough patches where I don't know how I could be any more alone than I actually am. You have given me people to be there for me when I need to know I am special, remembered and most importantly loved. I now have people to hang out with and confide in during my hard times. I have sisters to eat with, watch movies with and vent to when needed.

Thank you for giving me a group of girls that I know I can rely on. I am so happy to say that I have this amazing group of people who want me to be myself and not judge me for it. It is so nice to know that I can be my crazy, annoying self and you will just join in with me.

Thank you for not only reassuring that this is my home, but making it my home and for making yourselves my family. No one can describe what its like to have such a deep connection with people that you are not ashamed of anything you do around them. No one can explain what a bond like sisterhood actually feels like. No one can go and tell you that by getting to know certain people you will find a home and a family within that home.

Love always,

Your very thankful sister
