Dear College Soulmate,
In college, some people are lucky enough to go out, find themselves and discover what they're truly meant to do in this world. Others, on the other hand, find luck in a different manner. They find friendships and, as we like to call it, their "person." In these short three years that I have been lucky enough to call you my best friend, you have made such a huge impact on my life.
Something that I don't think I will ever be able to repay you for as long as we live. As hard as I try, I can't picture what my college career was like before we became acquainted and frankly, I can't even bear the thought of what it would be like had we never bonded over our three-hour naps together. They tell you that the best part of college is being able to find yourself, and really discover who you are as a person. Although we're still figuring all of that out, I am so glad that I get to do it with you by my side.
Thank you for being there for me not only through my happiest times but some of the lowest points in my life. I have learned some of my favorite life lessons over the years, and most of them I have you to thank for. No matter what I'm going through in life, you are always the first person I want to text or call when I have news. Things as big as landing my internship, or as little as a text at 3 a.m. from that d**k head we hate, just because I need someone to laugh with. Although things have changed since freshmen year, one thing is and always will remain the same, no matter what, I can always count on you to be there for me.
When I had my heart shattered, and you were two hours away, you were at my house the next day after sitting in rush-hour shore traffic, just to make sure I was laughing and smiling. I can't count on many friends the way I know I can count on you to be there for me. And I hope I have proven to you that I strive to be half the friend you are to me. It doesn't matter that we aren't on the same class schedule, or that we go to different frats on the weekends.
One thing I know for sure is that at the end of the day, when I just need someone to talk to about anything and everything, I can count on you. I know you are going to succeed in everything you do, because you inspire me to work hard and go after anything I want.
Thank you for “hating that bitch" that you don't even know, just because I told you to.
Thank you for bad mouthing my ex when I need it most.
Thank you for supporting me in making “life-changing" decisions when I switched majors.
Thank you for being my comic relief when I've had a bad day.
Most importantly thank you for never straying too far, no matter how many days we go without talking to each other. I look at older people who still have close relationships with their college friends, and I know that that will be us someday. I know that you will be beside me on my wedding day, and vice versa. I know that our husbands will be best friends (and that they're gonna be DILFs). I can't wait to look back years from now and reminisce on all of the shit we pulled over the years, and all of the countless mistakes we've made, and have yet to make together. Although we whine over trying to get boys to love us, I wouldn't trade our friendship for any other relationship in this world.
Love,
Your obsessed BFF
