Day 1

Dear You,

Before school started I was so nervous because I didn't know what living away from my family would be like and I was terrified that my roommates would hate me or think that I was annoying. I was scared that we wouldn't get along. Especially the person that I had to share a room with. I was so scared that things weren't going to turn out how I wanted them to. I had talked to her before and she seemed pretty cool but you never know. Texting is just talk, you don't know anything about a person just by texting them.

I remember that very first day that we moved in. I got my key that morning and went up to my new apartment and nothing was there so I went home. Several hours later I came back and all of her stuff was set up and she was all settled in. I remember being so jealous because all of her stuff was so cute and she had all of these pictures set up and stuff. I then went to go find all of my new roommates and it has just gone down hill from there!

Kirsten has become one of my best friends. She can tell when something is wrong and she tries to do whatever she can to make my day better. She always lets me come to her when all I need is a good cry and some comforting words, and she is great at comforting. And I may or may not have ruined some of her shirts with mascara stains, woops.

I don't think she knows how much I love her and how much she has helped me without even knowing it.

I have no idea what I am going to do without my Kirsten. I can't believe we only have 33 more days together! She is going to be a fantastic RA for her girls next year and I know that she will always be there for them just like she has been for me.

Today I am grateful for Kirsten
I love you Kirsten!!!

Love,
Christina
