An Open Letter To My Roommate Who Became My Best Friend

No one I'd rather spend my college years living with!

An Open Letter To My Roommate Who Became My Best Friend
Mikayla Coyne

Hey Roomie,

After spending our first year of college together, I realized that you really must be some kind of saint for putting up with me. You've seen it all; my best and worst moments, and I've seen all of yours. This year definitely had its ups and downs, but I'm so glad I got to experience it living with you.

Getting the email from you saying you were my roommate sent thousands of different thoughts through my head. I had no idea who you were, and it's hard to believe we met only a few months ago. After creeping through your social media for about two hours, I realized how much we had in common. Once we started texting and actually getting to know each other, I couldn't wait to finally move in and get to know you.

After we moved in and talked for hours, I never knew how I didn't know you before. We clicked from the start and started doing literally everything together. You're just as Starbucks and cupcake obsessed as I am, which is just about all I could ask for in a roommate. You're always the first one to tell me when I'm being unreasonable or to back me up even when we both know I'm wrong.

Thank you for putting up with my annoying rants and for hating the same people I hate. Thanks for always telling me which outfits look good and bad, and for supporting my shopping addiction. You have my back through it all and it's nice to know I always have someone to lean on.

You've seen some of the worst sides of me. From waking up in the morning to the struggle of going to the gym. You were never one to judge, which made it that much easier to be 100% my crazy self around you. We lay up in bed for hours just talking about whatever comes to mind until, eventually, I end up talking to myself because you always fall asleep on me.

We spent almost every second together unless we were in class or attempting to get homework done. I knew your schedule and you knew mine, and as soon as class was over we knew exactly what we wanted to go and do. Which was most likely go to target or get something to eat. Most of the time I'm not sure how we have exactly the same mind, mood and everything in between.

I'm so excited to move back in so we can get back to our Food Network binges, fro-yo runs and stalking random people on Instagram. You will forever be my favorite roommate, and one of my best friends for life!

xoxo,

Your Roommate for life

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
