The thought of being only a few hours away from you is an absolute nightmare… well, it seems silly, but here we are. I leave soon, ya know? I feel like I shouldn’t be this upset to say goodbye because let's face it we will still text each other every day and send weird snapchats. Yet, I’m sitting here crushed at the thought of leaving you. I wanted to write this to say thank you. Thank you for being my best friend in my last year of high school.

It’s still funny to think that a year ago is when we became friends and now we are pretty much inseparable. My mom even jokes with me that we can’t live without the other because let’s face this reality too: we are always there for each other and we sure as hell won’t leave the other alone. So, thank you for that as well. You made me attached to someone that wasn’t family, a huge step for me, as my mom says. All because you made sure my high butt made it to cheerleading and that I ate, that was only a year ago. Now, here we are, standing together sad that I am leaving.

I want to say thank you, over a million times to you, for everything honestly. Thank you for being my friend most of all. No matter how annoying I am towards you, you still love me. I feel like every friendship is going through this at the moment. All of us are sitting here worried about the friendships we have made if we could possibly lose because let’s face it friendships don’t last forever. Today take the time to say “I love you” to your best friend because it might not be goodbye, but it is a farewell for a while. Take a moment to remember that one weird moment you have with each other and remind them of it. Look at the funny photo you have saved of them, you know which one I am speaking of Cassidy. Friendship is a beautiful thing. Being friends with someone through deaths, a disability, and an unfortunate diagnosis, a friendship becomes much closer than ever thought it could before. So farewell my friend until we see each other in a few weeks, or next weekend because hey let's get pizza. Also, as you say, "hey I get the college experience through Miranda without actually learning or paying money."
