Kjrstin- You are my roommate soul sister. I have cherished getting to come home to you...and leaving the door unlocked (when I remembered) for when you brought the bacon home from work late at night. You make my side hurt from laughing just by opening your mouth...but most importantly you've been a huge rock for me. I cannot count the times I have collapsed and broken down in front of you...and you are still my friend!!! You know what to say and how to be a comfort, and I couldn't have gotten through the year without you.
Kbell- I am forever grateful for our celine dion car rides. Sometimes a girl just needs to belt out about a broken heart! ....or swoon over the sultry voice of j-biebs. either or! You always center me and remind me to chill when needed...and i know i can come to you with anything. You are generous to the core, and the only person who can keep me from misplacing my brain. You are honestly a sister to me and i adore you and all your perkyness and your crowns and your bows and your essential kaitlyn bell-ness that is only you.
Shelby-Here we were in california, 2 girls FAR from home...the distant, foreign country known as the east coast. In the midst of it all, we always spoke the same language, and it was a relief to have someone who understood me in all my weird east coast ways. You are generous and faithful and honest...such redeemable, amazing qualities. I've never had a friend who was so ferociously loyal no matter what...and I cannot believe you will be overseas in a REAL distant land for all of junior year. I don't know what I'm going to do without you.
Megan- I love you. No....like really. You have taught me to be more sane...i know, baby steps...but you have. We are room 318, the original skelly and megs gettin the job done. No matter what's happened, everytime I see you I feel like i'm looking in the mirror. You crack me up like no other, and you listen like no other. You've taken my side on so many random issues in my life...even when i was wrong (eh hem...kinkos, anyone?), but it's meant so much to me. I've missed you this semester...and I hope the future doesn't keep us far apart. ...because when i told you my parents rented a mini van to move me in, you said i was bringin sexy back one van ride at a time....and i don't just forget stuff like that :)
Lauren- as was once pointed out, we're in the early stages of dating. staying up super late, texting, making plans for the future! But really your friendship over the past 2-ish months has meant so much to me. You are someone who understands without explanation, and wants to be a shoulder without agenda. You are an incredibly positive, intelligent, compassionate person. I am beyond grateful to know you, and am completely angry we didn't sooner! BUT! We always have skype!
Scotty- I have this text message saved in my phone and I look at it when I need a laugh: "This is what you do, next time he knocks on the door, tell him you don't want any of his girl scout cookies and when he becomes a boy scout and starts selling popcorn you might be interested." I LOVE IT. I wish i had kept a book of scotty one-liners. You and Rambo are my favorite father and son combo. please please come visit, i'll miss you too much for 8 months!
Andrew- You have taught me an incredible amount about myself over the past 7 months. You've made me a better listener, you've inspired me to create more, you've tested my patience and my heart....but all around you sparked something inside of me. As we part ways, I hope your purple period is prosperously inspired.
There are so many other people...david brown, dan erickson, bobby rodrigues, fernando raigoza, lindsay adler, storie...the list goes on and now this just sounds like an Oscar's acceptance speech. This year has been an interesting ride for me, but as tom petty once sang... it's time to move on, time to get goin, what lies ahead i have no way of knowin...but under my feet the grass is growin..time to move on, time to get goin.
