To the Senior Who Graduated Too Soon

You were one of my first real friends at school, and before college, I had no idea all that I was missing out on.

To the Senior Who Graduated Too Soon
Cat McMillan

You might feel like you did not graduate soon enough, meanwhile, I am here wishing I could have another two and a half years of school with you.

I did not know I needed somebody like you to take me under their wing as a freshman until I met you. You were one of my first real friends at school, and before college, I had no idea all that I was missing out on.

You could not have cared less that I was a naive eighteen-year-old first-year college student, and you never once put me down for being younger than you or saw me any differently. In fact, more often than not I forget that we actually aren't twin sisters, let alone the same age. I easily could have been just another freshman who joined your sorority house who you vaguely recognized on campus but instead you reached out to me and made me feel so welcome in that first bit of school. You introduced me to so many people and expanded my seemingly small world at the time in so many ways. You taught me so much over the last year and a half and have opened me up to so many different things. From introducing me to One Direction with Wongo to showing me the magical wonders of Christmas Morning from Dutch Bros., I have learned so much from you, both big and small. I did not realize there was another person out there who had all the same interests as me from the song Christmas Canon to criminal justice, to politics to our neverending love for our boy Niall. I can always count on you to belt Blink-182 with me, eat ungodly amounts of food in one sitting together and to be there whenever I fall, both literally and figuratively. Thank you for letting me rant to you about boys, for reminding me of all of my most embarrassing moments (there are a lot) showing me the best views in Pullman and for bringing out the best in me.

Thank you for the deep late night conversations where we learned we are so much more similar than we ever could have imagined and for the times where we act like we are ten years old and can't help but laugh uncontrollably for hours on end.

You told me once last year that I was exactly who you were as a freshman, and if I am anything like you in the next few years, I will be very grateful because you really are one in a million.

I am only a couple of weeks into the new semester, but things really are not the same without you here in Pullman, so you better visit lots and count on many Molly Moons dates when I am back on the Westside.

While I wish you were still in Pullman, I know that wherever life leads you, you will have nothing but success come your way.

Thank you for being my soul sister Han, not sure what I would have done without you this last year.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make.

You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
