We met on Facebook over "where you're from?" and "what you were thinking about majoring in?" We bonded over having a love of certain types of music and agreeing that Chick-fil-A is the best food you can buy. What I didn't know was that those simple conversations would lead to friendships that I could never imagine.

Maybe we met because the guys you lived with your freshman year gave you a headache so you slept on my couch. Maybe we became friends because I didn't have a roommate and so The College just threw you into my room like it was a good idea or maybe we became friends because you live across the hall from me and you liked stealing our doormat.

However we met I'm grateful for it.

There's always a saying you hear about how the people you meet in college will be your lifelong friends — I whole heartily believe that.

I have never laughed so hard or so much with a group of people and I feel so lucky to call you all my friends.

I am definitely the mom friend when it comes to the friend group. I always go out of my way to check my friends' locations, which I guess is creepy, to make sure they're safe and not in the ocean somewhere. With college comes irresponsibly drinking too much, but lucky for my friends I am always sober and always ready to be the "mom friend."

I have a group text and a group Snapchat with multiple friend groups that I've made here in Charleston and when I had to go home for the Hurricane or for Christmas Break, I had severe withdrawal issues. When one of my friends thought it was smart to transfer schools and then realized he was stupid and came back, I was more than relieved because I don't know what I would've done without all my "roommates."

What I'm trying to say is, I'm so grateful for you all. I could not begin to name every single one of you but overall I appreciate you and love you all. After a long three hour drive from Clover, South Carolina to Charleston there is so much joy walking into my dorm because I know that's where my friends are. You guys are like family to me and without your annoying television shows, obsession with video games, gluten-free foods, tons of veggies and fruits and the fact that you wake me up from my naps to ask me what I'm doing: I wouldn't be who I am today.

Thanks for being you.

Unfortunately, I still have no idea what geek nine actually means, but I freaking love you guys.
