To my future roommate,

First of all, I'd like to thank you in advance. Thank you for choosing to live with me. I really couldn't imagine life in a single. I think it'd be close to solitary confinement. I'd have no one to get midnight pizza with. Thank you for letting me tell you all one thousand DIY projects that I'm going to attempt to create for our room. Thank you for being an awesome friend.

I know we're not THAT close right now, but I have a feeling that we're going to become pretty good friends. I can't wait until move in day!

I'm really glad to have found a roommate who I know I can trust. You know, someone who will tell me if my bronzer makes me look like an Oompa Loompa. Someone who won't judge me when I eat an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's. Someone who will tell me that, yes, those jeans do make my butt look big. I'm also really glad to have found a roommate who I know is a genuinely kind person. I couldn't have gotten luckier to have found you.

And of course, there are some things I want to tell you.

I promise that I won't steal your ice cream or Mac 'n' Cheese. I promise that I won't play loud music while you're trying to study. I promise that I'll do my best to take care of you when you're sick. And if you're ever sad, you can always have my shoulder to cry on. I want you to know that if you had a bad day and you just want to have a movie night and order pizza, I'll be there. If you have no one to eat with at lunch, dinner or even breakfast before your early class (although let's be real, it'll probably be me that has this problem), I'll be there. If you ever need somebody to go to the library or Starbucks or anywhere, I'd be glad to go with you! If you ever get asked out on a date, I'd be honored if you use me as an excuse. You know an "I'm sorry I promised my roommate I would go to Chipotle that night... And the next night. Oh and the night after that. Sorry" excuse. I'll do my very best to always have your back.

Most importantly, I want you to know that you can trust me and I'll be here for you. If you confide in me, I promise I won't spread it around. I promise I'm not a roommate that will steal your clothes or food. I promise I won't hog the entire fridge and I will always help to keep our room clean.

I want you to know that you can talk to me. If I do something that upsets you, I want you to tell me. I promise that I won't get offended or make our living situation awkward. And I promise to be honest with you, too.

I'm so glad we've decided to room together and I'm beyond excited for all of our future late night snack runs and movie nights and talks. And maybe the occasional dance party study break. I think we're going to get along very well.

Love,

Your future roomie

P.S. We're definitely going to have the cutest, most Tumblr, most Pinterest room in the whole building.
