19 years, you and me. I haven’t been apart from you since kindergarten, and I don’t think I will anytime soon. We were born 5 days apart, our confirmations and communions were 5 days apart, we got our first job together, we got our licenses 5 days from each other, and now were in college together. And better than that were rooming together.

You have had my back since before I can remember. There was never a time when I called someone more of a best friend than you. You know me maybe even better than I know myself.

Someone said that you shouldn’t room with your best friend in college; that it will ruin a friendship, but they didn’t know who we were. We don’t even fight. If we do, we have a rebound rate of .5 seconds then were back to goofing around. We’re not afraid to tell each other to shut up or that were annoying.

We’re basically like sisters. Your family is mine, and there’s no getting rid of you anytime soon. Not that I would want to. Having you by my side through all the major events in my life is such a blessing. Not that many people can say they have stuck with someone for this long. People have falling outs and meet new friends, but we have been able to make new friends together and never hold each other back.

We have been through some tough stuff together, but we have never given up. I can’t even begin to thank you or tell you how much I appreciate you. When things are rough at home I know have you. You are my home. Being away at school was a little tricky at first because of my anxiety, but I don’t think I would have much such a smooth adjustment if it weren’t for you.

You are my safety net. There is nothing I keep from you, I can come to you with anything, and you always have my back. Lately, it’s been rough for me and honestly if I didn’t have you I don’t know what I would’ve done. You stayed up with me until three in the morning when I was worried sick about family. I came home early one night from being out at a party and I was in my bed crying over what happened, and I didn’t even have to say a word you knew exactly what was wrong and just hopped into bed with me. You are one of the biggest reasons I am who I am.

And you’re not just my best friend because you help me when I’m down. We have the best time together. We laugh uncontrollably at the most random things. There are way too many inside jokes to even name with you. I love how we both love dancing even if were not that good, and in our dorm, at like midnight we can just go crazy singing and dancing and not care at all. For all the times you make me smile and laugh and push me to be a better person, and support me, I thank you. Thanks for never leaving. You are my rock.
