We have always had dreams of one day living together, but when it actually happened, it was beyond what was expected. There have been some beautiful times, and extremely awkward times. It almost seems like the other day the two of us were looking around town for a new place to call home. While viewing a variety of different apartments, there was talk about how each room would be set up if that was to be the chosen place. Each bedroom was examined closely, and a decision was made as to which room should go to who. We signed a lease and got the keys to our new place. The two of us hurriedly loaded trailers and cars of things to move in. The anticipated feeling of finally moving everything in was a palpable feeling.

After a handful of weeks, everything had been officially unpacked and moved around. Within the first few weeks, so many great memories have been made. Like the first time the two of us went grocery shopping together, making milkshakes almost every other night, playing our favorite band at a high volume while doing dishes, and overall just enjoying each other’s company. We have spent an immense amount of time with each other in the past, but now that we are almost constantly together, we have gotten so much closer. Close enough to where we have at times gotten annoyed with each other. Like how I’d rather be alone when I go grocery shopping, and how you like to take over in the kitchen. Despite what other people have said, we have managed to work through all odds. They say that when best friends live together, there is usually some sort of conflict that arises to where they don’t end up being best friends anymore. I think together we will defy those odds because to me this has been the best experience of my life.

Some of the best benefits have occurred since moving in with you. Like being able to ask you immediately if the outfit I’m in makes me look okay. The fact that you love to cook, and I occasionally get to wake up to you making bacon for breakfast. Having you right down the hall from me when I get upset, or have spectacular news. You attempt to laugh at all of my really lame jokes, and I put up with your extremely rare and weird personality. I am so happy to know that I will get the honors of helping you throughout your first year in college, and all of the exciting memories it will bring. Meeting you has been a blessing, and having the chance to live with you has been a miracle. I am not quite sure how long we will get to enjoy being roommates, but I am taking in the memories day by day. Either way, I hope we always remain in close contact and that you’ll always be my dearest best friend. You truly have been a great one.

Love,

Your Favorite Roomie
