We started a little unconventionally, and that is OK, in a lot of ways you guys saved me. Two of you I met during a late-night study session during finals week, one of you I met after I agreed to be your roommate, and as for the others--you all came as a group with these three amazing ladies. I could not be more thankful for all of you, and the friendships you have given me.
You probably read the word saved and got a little confused--I do not mean you all literally saved my life, but you know that already. But you have saved me from lonely meals, nights watching Netflix in my room alone, and opting to hang out with my older brother and his children ALL the time (Not that I do not love them, because I do, but having friends is great too). I met you all this past spring semester, and I have had some of the best times already, and I am definitely looking forward to more!
When I became friends with you, I was in between friendships. I had friends, but not the kind of friends I hung out with regularly. I could not text them and tell them my secrets. I could not call them to hang out late at night. I did not really fit in anywhere until you all found me, and I am so thankful to finally have my people. People I can trust, have fun with, and even live with.
Now that I have you all, I can say that I am looking forward to another year of college. I know that I have a group of trustworthy people who will stick by my side, and that is one of the greatest feelings. I am looking forward to great nights out, and even more fun memories. I cannot wait for the cozy nights in, stuffing our faces with Chinese takeout while we watch our favorite movies and TV shows. I am excited for any adventures we might get to go on as well, like our potential road trip to California, or even fun days at Six Flags. You all give me a year of memories to look forward to, and I cannot wait to be reunited with you in the fall.
To the friends who saved me. Saved me from being another forgotten student who ended up transferring. Saved me from long boring nights in my dorm room. Saved me from the lost feeling I had--thank you. Thank you from coming into my life and adding so much light to it. At this point, I do not know where I would be without you.
