Dear Rooms,

Thank you for all that you have done for me and all that you continue to do. I don’t think I can ever repay the lessons you have taught me (and continue to). College is difficult but sometimes it’s not the academics that make it challenging, it's life. College is a lot about finding yourself and I want to thank you for all that you have taught me. For helping discover myself.

Thank you for listening to Drake with me and jamming out to basically any song that we like. Also thanks for staying in with me and thank you for all the times you've made me go on a drive with you down PCH to clear my mind. Thank you for all the 4 a.m. talks about anything and everything and for staying up with me to do homework.

Sorry that I am a mess sometimes but you are very much appreciated. You have taught me more than what it means to be a roommate, you have taught me to be a better friend, sister, Big, and student. Thank you for letting me call you when I am close to breaking down or having a panic attack. Thank you for walking me through both. Thank you for letting me rant about how sucky my day was or how annoying people can be.

Also thank you for just sitting down in silence with me when life is too overwhelming to talk about. Thank you for not letting me drop out of college. Seriously a number of times I say that I am going to drop out because of the difficulty or the people is incredible, but thank you for convincing me each time to not.

You have taught me many lessons and the patience you have with me is amazing. You’ve taught me (and constantly remind me) to know my worth and that it’s okay to pick myself and my health over people. You’ve taught me that people are mean but that doesn’t mean that I should be rude and mean. Thank you for feeding me and reminding me to eat when I am too stressed to even think about food. You’re more than a roommate and I hope you know that. You’ve taught me that it’s okay to feel insecure and unsure of life. You’ve taught me to be even more open mind and a risk taker (as if I needed more help with this). You’ve taught me how to talk about my feelings and how it’s healthy/better to have confrontation than hiding it as I usually did.

Roommates are usually a hit or miss in college but I am very grateful to have you as a roommate. Thanks for opening the door when I am locked out (seriously........) and for calling me out when I am not doing what I should be doing. Thank you! However, I’m not sorry for taking screenshots of your Snapchats, for being super needy or making you hang out with me. If life has taught me anything is that people come and go and some never come back but thank you for being my friend, for being the person that cheers me up and for giving me the privilege to be your roommate.

Love,

Your Needy Roommate

P.S. Sorry that my side of the room is messy!
