Dear roommates,
The end of the semester is quickly approaching and this one is not like any other, as I will not be returning to UT in the spring, so it’s time for me to say goodbye. However, this letter will be anything but sad.
We first met in the beginning of freshmen year when we were all thrown into a room together, however random housing wasn’t so bad because you guys quickly became my first friends at UT. We did everything together, from eating, laundry, hanging out and being weird (very weird), to studying together, going on walks at Riverwalk, to exploring Ybor and Prana (never forget). Freshman year was filled with so many good times and as the year ended, we decided to live together the following year.
Over the summer we began to plan all the things we were gonna buy for our on campus apartment and even had a Pinterest board full of ideas. We were separated all summer and couldn’t wait to be reunited in the fall and decorate our apartment, start cooking our own meals, and we even started to talk about the possible nights out we would have. The fall quickly came and we got all the necessities and started to cook meals together every night and it was great. We got to have dinner and sit down with each other and talk about our days and complain about everything, and it’s those nights I will remember the most. We also became a lot closer and practically still did everything together, which was nice. We always had each other no matter what was going on, and in college you need friends who will be there for you.
As the semester ends, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for putting up with me for one and a half years. Thank you for putting up with my crazy and indecisiveness. Thank you for making me laugh until I cried. Thank you for be encouraging me to go to work and to quote “stop being lazy”. Most importantly, thank you for being you and making my time at UT wonderful. I will never forget all the weird and crazy things we did and all the fun times we had together. I will definitely not forget about my best friends, so thank you.
