I am writing you this while we are snapchating and taking each others side in a group message right now, you don’t know this and that’s oka,y but my goal is to let you know how much you mean to me and why I am thankful for you. This kind of feels weird because I feel like a year ago I would be writing this to my high school besties. The difference – there was serveral of them but only one of you. You must read this and I hope you cry hysterically 500 times. I guess I first want to say thank you. Thank you grabbing my hand and snatching my shoulder to get me away from all of the drunk semi-attractive, no good guys on the quad during gameday, and coming home just to yell at me for how ugly and stupid he was. Thank you for going to Taco Bell, Mcdonalds, and every other terrible kind of fast food no one should engulf large amounts of at 2am. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on when I failed my biology test and then going to eat more fast food – again. Thank you for adding three more quarters to the handful of change going into a gas station to buy a 2 liter of coke for my apartment because broke college girl problems, and without you I am three quarters richer so technically I am not that broke. Thank you for the late night face mask girl time because three days without a good face cleanse is unacceptable.

Thank you for the car jams of everything from Dixie Chicks to Kendrick Lamar to even Waylon Jennings and occasionally Three Days Grace and everything in between on the way to class – well, jk basically everywhere we go - which is EVERYWHERE. Thank you for skipping class with me and going to a gourmet biscuit shop instead. Thank you for being able to tell I am ready to leave a party or an awkward situation, because if an added 10 minutes to certain times I think I would have thrown up or even done something I probably shouldn’t. Thank you for being up to do anything I want to do – including going to a frat party just to get Instagram followers. (ridiculous). Thank you for swiping left on people who I definitely should not have swiped right on. Thank you for convincing me it was not a good idea to Facetime my parents in the middle of a frat party! One more, thank you for accepting the 139137 guys I have introduced you to, and understanding that it is okay because well – it's college, and I just haven’t found the right one.

You are not perfect, you are guilty of failing tests and skipping classes. You are guilty of being broke too, and most definitely doing and saying things you too are ashamed of your third glass of wine in. You are guilty of everything I am guilty of but there is no one I’d rather experience any of this with except for – you. Please know that because you are so awesome, I’m inviting you to my families annual beach trip. My sisters wedding. My dads 55^th birthday dinner. My dogs funeral, and to the hospital when my baby cousin first enters the world. Oh, and you will be my maid of honor if that’s okay. I guess I am done rambling about how amazing you are but lets be real – the world is a better place with you in it and I am forever thankful God chose you to be my bestfriend. College is hard. Telling my mom and dad I failed a class was hard but you in the background saying “everyone failed that test”, “it was soooo hard anyways” and “I dropped that class too Mrs. Nancy” made it a little bit easier. I want to say more but its been 25 minutes since I’ve responded to your snap, you probably think I am dead but I’m not. I love you!!!! xoxo
