To my suitemates,

First, I want to say thank you. With us all living together as complete strangers that first few weeks of school, thank you for putting up with me and accepting me for the obnoxiously loud and crazy person I am. I honestly didn't think we were going to become friends, but looking back at this semester...we've certainly been through a lot.

From the 3am fire alarms to the late night pizza deliveries, you guys have been with me through it all. During our 5 months together, I have learned so much. Movies in the living room, late night pizza and cookies, and endless hours of laughter are an absolute must in 303. Even though we may disagree about the dishes, you guys have become my new family.

I also can't believe that we are finished with our first semester of college...but I know wholeheartedly that I would not have made it without all of you. Thank you for pushing me to study, for doing my laundry, and making my bad days ten times better. I can't put into words how much your friendships mean to me. Thanks for being there when I needed to cry after failing my first test, making my coffee in the morning, and always grabbing food with me. You guys bring so much joy to my day and I know I'm coming back after class to 5 friends who have become more like family.

Looking into our next semester, I can't wait to see where our journey takes us. I'm looking forward to all the new memories and adventures that await. *Lets hope there aren't too many more fire drills. I miss you all so very much and I can't believe I'm going a whole month without seeing you all. I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Love,

Rachel
