Dear BFF,

I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that people come into your life when you need them the most. I believe that someone somewhere placed you into my life for a reason. Starting college everyone told me, "you'll find your people", or "you'll find your college family". Now I can say, I've found my family. I've found the best friend that I'll be going through the upcoming years with.

When we first met over the summer before our first semester of college, even you said you didn't think we'd be the best of friends. We ended up spending most of the week together, we met each other's moms and promised we would FaceTime. Up until move-in day, we tagged each other in pictures on Facebook counting down the days until we got to start our new lives. Here we are with only four weeks left of the semester, our new lives have started, and I don't know how I would've survived without you.

Since we met (which seems like forever ago), we've seen each other through a lot. We spent about an hour crying in my car after our first anatomy class, and during our cry session, you started to laugh hysterically--which made me think you were kind of psycho. We've had sleepovers, Netflix nights, and told our deepest darkest secrets. We've gone on an adventure to find cool rural roads in Indiana, all while having a vent session. We've sat in parking lots for hours listening to music, laughing, and sometimes crying. We went to our first party together and you showed me the store where EVERYTHING is a dollar. Even the plates.

You have accepted me on my days where I don't feel like doing anything, the days I just want to go home, and on the days when I wake you up at 11AM and tell you I'm coming over, only to actually make you go to the cafeteria and get food with me. (She isn't a morning person, y'all. AT ALL.) You've accepted my depression, my boy-craziness--that you go right along with, my anxiety, all of my quirks, and I don't have the words to thank you for that.

I have a few things to thank you for...

Thank you for screaming "BUCKLE UP" when I've forgotten to put my seatbelt on, even if we're only in a parking lot.

Thank you for telling me that I deserve better than that guy from the other night.

Thank you for constantly telling me you're happy to have me in your life.

Thank you for being the funniest person I know and making me laugh so hard I cry every time we're together, which is pretty much 25/8. (Yes people, I'm aware that it's '24/7'.

You're the sweetest, funniest, most emotional, psycho person I know but I wouldn't have you any other way. You have a beautiful soul and I thank you for instilling some of that in me. I can't wait to live together next year and do life. This kind of sounds like a love letter but that's fine because you're bae. I could go on and on, but I'll stop here. I love you so much!

With all my love,

Your forever friend
