Dear College Fam,

Thank you for being my college family. Thank you for redefining squad goals. While the group chat can get annoying at times (i mean seriously, I had 105 messages from you guys when I got out of a 50 minute lecture the other day) I love you all and wouldn't change a thing about our messed up family. I know we've all joked about how they could've possibly put everyone who is as equally messed up in one hall with each other.

Despite all the things that make us messed up, we have unconditional love and support for each other. I know if I ever have a bad day, all I have to do is walk back into our hall and there will be people willing to share food, share clothes, listen to me vent and give me hugs. There's always someone to go get food with, someone willing to make a drive into town to get groceries for everyone.

You are all easily some of the greatest and kindest people I have ever met. There isn't enough words to describe how grateful I am for each and every one of you. I will forever be grateful for all of our adventures, near death experiences, laughs, and trips into town together. I don't even want to think about what's going to happen next year when we all aren't in the same hall together. I always feel insanely lucky when I get to brag about how close we all are to someone who tells me their halls are anti-social and don't talk to each other.

I heard someone say the other day that home isn't about where you are but who you're with. So thank you for making our hall a home. It's weird to think that it's barely been five weeks since we've all met each other, it feels like i've known you all for much longer than that.
