I had the biggest blessing when I got the opportunity to live with some of the most amazing people. I was terrified when I came to school that I would live with someone who was completely different than me and we would have nothing in common. In fact, I got just the opposite. I had strangers who became family and moments that turned into the best memories. I can't even begin to put into words how lucky I am to have found them. Together, we have been through it all. The ups and downs with the goods and the bads, but these experiences made us stronger. Part of who I am today is because of you, and everything I have learned from you.

Lesson One: There is never a bad time to dance it out.

Although we may actually have the best worst dancing, none of it matters when we are always laughing.

Lesson Two: There is good in every bad situation.

It might be hard to find, but no matter what it is always there. I mean hey thats what happy hour drinks are for?! In all seriousness though, there are blessings in dark places, you just have to be willing to find them.

Lesson Three: Laughter really is the best medicine.

Life is better when your laughing. Plain and simple. As the famous saying goes "every minute spent upset is one minute of happiness you will never get back"

Lesson Four: Separation Anxiety exists.

When we go home for summer, its hard to wonder how we can function without each other. Who else is going to tell you to make sure you have your keys, or to make sure you turn the oven off.

Lesson Five: Throwback music is always better blasting.

Who doesn't want to listen to "I Want It That Way" by The Backstreet Boys and sing at the top of your lungs to it?! An major crisis can always be made a little better with music.

Lesson Six: We will always be friends.

No matter what life throws at us, you will always be my person and living with you showed me how lucky I am.
