Isn’t it crazy how at such a young age you can find your people? The people that you know will be present at all your big life events and accomplishments. The ones that have seen you at your absolute worse and always support you at your absolute best.

You go to college as an 18-year-old, unsure of what the next 4 years hold and you meet the most incredible people, and just like that your life changes forever.

Some people may not be able to relate to this but I promise that one day you will. You’ll know you found your people when each of you brings something to the table that’s a little different than the others and like a puzzle, you all fit together perfectly.

I believe that we all get so tangled up in life with work, school, jobs and our social life that we forget to show appreciation towards those people who are there for you unconditionally.

I want to say thank you to all of you. (You know who you are.) You have helped me grow and most importantly taught me that it’s okay to make mistakes and learn from them. (Let’s be real, we made the mistakes together so we weren’t alone.) Each one of you has pushed me to be the best version of myself at all times and for that, I am forever grateful.

Thank you for letting me vent about something you’ve probably heard me say five different times in five different versions.

Thank you for going on road trips with me and doing stupid things just for the hell of it.

Thank you for never staying mad at me when I do something stupid.

Thank you for going out to eat with me when we're both broke and most definitely when we shouldn’t be spending our money.

Thank you for understanding the weird things I do and doing them too.

But most importantly, thank you for being my number ones, my partners in crime and my soulmates. Without you guys, life would be boring.

You guys have reminded me when I needed a reality check and have been always been accepting and understanding when I do the same for you.

You guys are the people that know me better than I know myself… and somehow still like me. (Thank you for that.)

People come and go, but you guys will last forever. We will soon graduate college and enter the scary place called “the real world.” We will move to different cities, maybe even different states, but I know that distance will only make our friendships grow stronger.

Near or far you will forever be my people, my future bridesmaids and the crazy aunts to my children. You’re all forever loved and forever appreciated, please never forget that.
