A Thank You Letter To My College Roommate

Gossip Girl

Your freshman year college roommate is the first true person you meet at school and will either become your best friend or worst enemy. In my case, I was blessed beyond belief and have a rockin' roommate at my university. She's been my main squeeze at school for almost four years now and I could not be happier about it. Besides being there for nearly every single event in my life and giving me advice on how to be a functioning human, we've also made some truly extraordinary memories together.

Thank you for being my first best friend on campus. We were glued at the hip from the start and immediately bonded over our weirdness. Our long wanders around campus and adventures to Panera were the only ways I got through the tough days. And also those froyo dates were the bomb.com.

Thank you for being there for many of my first time experiences in college.I Perhaps a party, or two...

Thank you for being up for nearly anything at any time. Coffee break? Lets go to Dunkin. Midnight movie marathon? I can sleep tomorrow. McDonalds run at 11:30 pm? We will go out of our way for the drive-thru.

Thank you for being the person I could celebrate with at the end of a tough semester. While finals always killed us, and freshman year we had no idea how to deal with them, we got through it together, with only a few all nighters and half a dozen coffees.

Our last three years have been amazing, and this semester apart being abroad has definitely proven to me that we are the best pair. I look forward to all of our adventures senior year and beyond. Thank you for being my roommate, my best friend and my sister.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
