You're graduating in less than a week and a few months later you'll be heading to different colleges to your futures and meet lots of new friends.

I've learned a lot this past year and met a lot of great new people, but I will never forget about you guys. I'm so thankful to have been friends with such wonderful people for so long and you'll always have a special place in my heart. Our endless laughs, inside jokes, and memories will be ours forever. We have the best (and most embarrassing) 'remember when' moments to look back on that we won't ever forget. From sleepovers and late night boy talks to sports, activities and even a long 26 hour bus ride to Florida, we've been through it all together. Here's to you and all the admirable things you've done for me.

Thank you for the endless laughs, good times and memories.

High School would have been completely dull without you guys. No matter how much none of us want to admit it; the petty drama between us every day is what kept us going. We could laugh at something for hours that no one else would find funny. We have so many special memories together that I can't even begin to list, but don't you worry; they were always photographed or posted on social media. Looking back on some of the stupid stuff we did or the dramatic situations that were blown way out of proportion makes me laugh and sometimes just shake my head. I'm so blessed to have spent my years in high school and middle school with friends like you.

Thank you for eating your body weight in food with me.

Ice cream in the summer, smokey row during school, Casey's runs before volleyball and basketball games and everything else in between, yet the weight stayed off. We took full advantage of our fast metabolisms and active lives; but I wouldn't have wanted to stuff my face with anyone else. Stuffing your face in college is still fun; however the consequences aren't quite as appealing (hello freshman fifteen). A lot of our memories include food in large portions, but hey; full bellies make happy girls.

Thank you for the infinite amount of support you gave me.

Despite our drama and bickering sometimes, you never failed to give me the support I needed. Friends are such an important part of your high school years and I was lucky enough to get the best ones. You never failed to support me whether it was on something small and unimportant or something as big as me graduating early. I cannot express how important it is to feel supported and loved at this point in your life and I'm beyond excited to be able to say I always felt like I had a friend to talk to if I needed them.

This goes without saying; you really are the best of friends. I could have gone on for days with thank yous, but hopefully you got the point. I don't know how I would have done it without you guys. I'll see everyone Sunday at graduation in their caps and gowns. I wish you good luck as you take the next step in your life next year and try not to ever forget about me.
