Dear Roommate,

I want to first start off by saying thank you. You have made such an impact on my life and I am truly appreciative for it.

It’s not easy getting a new, crazy, loud roommate at the beginning of your spring semester. So, thank you for being there when I almost get hit by a car while I walk in the middle of traffic. Thank you for always giving me endless things to laugh about.

My life would be pretty dull if you weren’t there to cheer me up at one in the morning with you jumping from your bed to mine. I cannot put into words how much I needed a friend like you when I transferred in last semester, my life was pretty blue and you turned it to a bright yellow.

Thank you for being just as crazy as I am, not everybody can get a noise complaint because they were singing “My Heart Will Go On” too loud. Some people might say we’re a little too close, but I don’t think there’s such a thing. Thank you for always being protective of me and having my best interest in mind. I’m so happy that I can say I’ve made this many (and more) memories with someone I’ve only known for a year.

I don’t know what Res Life was thinking when they put us together but I’m glad they made the right decision. Thank you for hanging all my decorations because you know it stresses me out, for helping me shower when I broke my finger, and for just being an amazing person that I needed the most at the right time.

Chances are I wouldn’t have survived my first semester here without you and your sarcastic voice. So thank you for everything you do for me, and being the best you can possibly be, you rock my socks, Albert, I love you buttercup.
