For making school feel like home.

Their beauty isn’t the only reason you love them, and that should go without saying. It may have been the reason you were first attracted to them, but it’s certainly not the reason you’ve stayed with them this long.

It doesn’t matter how long they’ve actually been in your life, it feels like it’s been forever.

Loving Target with the very flame of your soul and calling it Targé is a fiscally responsible and heartwarming way to buy another lacy sundress you don’t need, and that’s a life everyone deserves to live now and again (or every weekend — you do you hons).

You never know what to do with your hands.

The kind of man you marry wants to go down on you. The kind of boy you date wants you to go down on him.

For getting us started on what would become our lifelong sports obsessions.

That I wasn’t holding onto another person, but to an answer, and to hope. I’m not sorry you didn’t end up being that for me. I’m grateful, because it made me see that the love I was trying to replace wasn’t totally gone.

What you binge ate yesterday.

Being the kind of person that we actually do want to become — because as we all know, it’s inevitable.

You are kind but straightforward about your intentions– you don’t leave people questioning or hanging, and you certainly don’t use people for your own selfish desires.

Family parties are infinitely more entertaining when you have a group of you that can retreat from the holiday madness and just hang out and/or observe your hilarious relatives who never fail to live up to their dysfunctional reputations.

That the worst part of it all is probably watching your friends go and having campus feel empty and weird without them.

“Which one of you is the boy?”

Someone with whom we just “click.” Someone who we’d still be friends with even if the romantic element were gone.

Cry when you leave your campus job and do all kinds of sentimental “award” things and goodbye speeches for people. Make some more statuses about your disbelief.

You have an affinity for blue fun tack, laminating things and Mr. Sketch markers.

You keep g-chat perpetually on “off the record.”
