Bittersweet Endings

One of the only things I ever really worried about with college was getting crazy room mates, the kind that steal your socks in your sleep...or worse. However, I ended up getting to room with three of the most amazing girls.

We had frequent ice cream runs, ate countless treats, and distracted each other constantly from homework. They have been there for me countless times throughout the year, even if it was just to listen to me ramble or to take me to bed when I fell into my sleep-like state.

They are each so amazing in different ways, and I'll always be grateful that I got to see what it is that makes them that way. I'll also forever be thankful for everything they did/do for me. They each never failed to help me figure out my little problems, bring comfort, let me leak on their shoulders or make me laugh. And since we all thought we were pretty funny (which of course we are), there were endless laughs and good times.

Even with such a great year though, it had to come time for things to change. It meant many good things and new adventures for each. However, along with change also had to come goodbyes. I'm definitely not a fan of goodbyes, sometimes they just seem too permanent.

So instead of saying goodbye, I'm going to stick with "See ya later!" And even though we won't be rooming together anymore, or even in the same town for a couple, they'll still be my close friends.

Moral of the story, don't be afraid of letting people come into your life. You never know the impact they might have or the memories you might make! :)
