Hey girl,

Now that we are back at college, I miss you more than ever. I miss when we were two minutes from each other instead of two hours. The distance is especially hard because we have been attached at the hip since we met six years ago. I remember when everyone questioned us asking if we were ever apart from each other and we would just look at each other and say "nope, not really!"

At the beginning of freshman year of high school, I would have never believed I would have found such an influential person in my life, yet here we are! Now that we are both beginning our sophomore year in college, I am afraid that we will be so busy that we won't have time for each other. Just know that I will never be annoyed at any 2 am call about boys, roommates, or this awesome taco you had for dinner. I don't care how small the issue, comment, or question is, I always want to be there for you. You are the best and I hope you know that.

Also, just so you know, I LIVE for our FaceTime calls. Whenever the time comes, I literally sprint to my laptop.

These calls make it as though nothing has changed. Even though we are a hundred plus miles apart I feel like we are right back on the porch swing talking about our lives. I love laughing and talking about our obsession with desserts, scary movies, and The Bachelor. Whenever I am stressed to the max, I always think about the countdown of days until we are reunited. What a great day that will be, complete with a slow motion run into each others arms and a twirl if the timing is right.

I hope you know, too, that my best friends at college know all about you because I like to brag a little. You are just so amazing! Your determination and passion to succeed is inspiring. Thank you for always supporting me in my decisions no matter how crazy they might seem. I would not be where I am today in my college life without you.

So, best friend that is too many miles away from me, have you considered transferring? I am pretty sure you would love it here. But hey, you know what they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder. Until then, I look forward to our several hour FaceTime calls and visiting each other at school. I miss you dearly, but the miles are just a number. You are so special to me and I cannot wait to see you again.

xoxo, E
