To My College Friends As We Leave For Summer,

It's hard to believe that it has already been nine months. In that surprisingly short amount of time, I have managed to meet some of my best friends in life. How is it that I have gone my entire life without you people? Or, an even better question, how do I survive this summer without you being a maximum of five minutes away?

First off, a huge thank you is in order. Thank you for coming into my life and making it so much better than I ever thought it could be. Thank you for forcing me to go out when I couldn't decide and thank you for making me stay in and study for that test we had the next day. Thank you for making me laugh until I cry or pee my pants and binge eating pints of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked ice cream. Thank you for sticking by me at my best times, but most importantly thank you for sticking by me at my worst times.

I didn't think it was possible to find people who would truly change my life in such a short amount of time, especially people who I never expected to be a part of my life. Nine months ago, all of you were strangers and nameless faces I passed to and from class. Now, you are people that put the biggest smile on my face whenever we're together.

Really though, how do I survive a summer without you? It seems simple, I have gone my whole life without you, so I should be able to survive just three months, right? Wrong.

Not only am I going to miss you, but I am also going to miss the incredible amount of closets available to raid, going out with my best friends on the daily, the meals in which we eat the equivalent amount of food to our body weight, and the times we could sit around doing nothing but still enjoy each others' company.

To my college friends as we leave for summer, don't forget to keep sending me your ugliest snaps, your outfit options, and that I'm just a text, facetime, phone call, or drive away. I'm already way too excited to be back in August and to hear about the ridiculous stories from your summer.

Thank you for being you. I appreciate you, love you too much, and miss you already.
