Dear roommate,

It's crazy to think we only met in August. The last 7 months have flown by, and I could not be happier. It's weird to look back and think that exactly a year ago you direct messaged me on Instagram - did you ever think we would end up like this? Did you ever think you would become absolutely best friends with a complete stranger so quickly? Because I didn't.

From the late nights of order food, watching movies and just talking out our everyday issues, you have been my rock. You have shaped my freshman year and I could not be more thankful. It is going to be weird waking up this summer and not seeing you, or not saying goodnight to anyone. But I will always think about the memories made in this room together.

As we pack our bags and reminisce about the last year, we laugh and we cry.

But most of all we are thankful. Thankful we were blessed with each other and such an amazing group of friends.

You have lived through my mess, and I commend you for that. The piles of clothes that lay on the floor and the unmade bed on a daily basis. I did not think anyone could live through that and not complain!

Thank you for being you and giving me the best year of my life.

Lots of love,

Your roomie.
