It's kind of ghetto, lopsided and ridiculous but it is what it is, lol. It's the thought that counts anyways, right? I kicked off college with Kate as my freshman year roommate, and closed out college with Kate as my senior year roommate. Kate is one of the people I have missed the most since school has ended. While we were friends since Freshman year, I really think our friendship was at its best senior year and I simply was not ready for her to move away! But such is life.
I really like when good things happen to deserving people. I knew from the very beginning of our friendship that Kate was going to be successful in life, but not because she was a schmoozer or just that person who gets lucky a lot. Any grade or academic achievement for Kate was/is absolutely the result of true drive, dedication and self-discipline. Having seen Kate's work ethic throughout college, I could not have been less shocked or more happy for her when she got into and decided to attend a kickass law school. I'm extremely happy for her and have been waiting for the right time to send her an i-miss-you-and-you're-awesome-care-package. First law school final seemed as good a time as any!
I sent it out this afternoon, really hoping she doesn't think it's too childish or weird and that it gets there before her first final, but if not, then I just hope it brings a smile to her face in the aftermath of her first final.
I'm planning to visit her in Michigan in the spring and am super excited about that. It's been far too long since I last saw her.
I feel lucky because I'm truly amazed, in one way or another, by every single person I have the honor of calling my friend.
In the spirit of celebrating friendship, I leave you with this quote that I really like: "Many people will walk in and out of your life but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart." -my biznatch, Eleanor Roosevelt.
Countdown to Florida: 8 Days.
