Dear Roomie,

Here are some (but definitely not all) of the wonderful memories we have had together.

We have gone to Starbucks together three times (at the time that this article was written). The first was when I first officially met you. I knew you were trustworthy because you were wearing a Little Mermaid T-Shirt. We went shopping for dorm things (including the CUTEST pillow that says "Dorm Sweet Dorm") and color-coordinated everything. It was PERFECT. Then it rained a whole lot, and I left my sunglasses in your car until August. It was a wonderful day. The second time was in Athens, before we went to see the movie "Nerve." We took Snapchat videos in the car and talked about fish (spoiler alert). We got the same drink, but mine was hot and yours was cold. Classic. The third time, is my personal favorite. I was sitting on the floor, studying, and you came in the room and said, "I wish we could get Starbuck's delivered," To which, I replied, "Man, I could go for some Starbucks right now." The next thing I knew, you were making fun of how I parked in the Tate deck (pictured below), and we were having a grand time.

Once, we stayed up until 2 a.m. listening to music in Spanish and talking about band. It was the greatest, even though I was exhausted the next day.

You've keep a steady count of how many times I lay on our dorm room floor, too, my favorite of which is this one:

You've been with be through all my Redcoat moments, which made us grow even closer. Here we are after our first half-time performance as Redcoats!

Then we got a fish, and named her Ziva. And then she died and we were sad.

I met a lot of people in my Freshman year. I made a lot of friends, but none of them will be the same as you! It has been a blessing to share a room and a friendship with you. I will never forget all the memories we've made together. Thank you for laughing, crying, and living with me. You are truly the best, and I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans we get into in the future. We may not always live together, but we will always be friends. I love you!

Love,

Your roommate.
