Dear College; Don’t Forget To Write

Consider the following letters to be a parting gift. 

As a graduating senior, I can honestly say that I fit the overused description of a college senior perfectly.  No, not the “WOHOO SENIOR YEAR!” one, but definition number two.  You know, the one that basically describes the final year of college as being a crazed creature wandering from scheduled thing to schedule thing, while somehow managing to conquer piles of work and to cross off packed days on her calendar.  The one that lives off of microwaved meals and barely even has the time to binge on Netflix, but when they do immediately falls asleep because they’re so exhausted.  Yeah, that’s me.  Well, sort of.  But, guess what?  I don’t care – because I did it!  I’m going to graduate and, just like a cliché senior, I’m already beginning to feel quite reflective.  So grab a jar of Nutella and join me as we take a look back at a college experience…

Dear Home (Freshman Year):

Thank you again for helping me move in! I think I’m finally organized and comfortable in my new room with my awesome roommate. We’re both so similar and eat together every day. I think I’ve also got this laundry thing down pat! No shrunken sweaters or pink where white used to be! It’s a breeze – I honestly don’t know what you’ve been complaining about all these years! The food here is great and I am loving being on my own. I miss home but can’t wait for the journey ahead – I’ve got this
