to my counterpart in san diego: everytime i doubted myself, you told me otherwise. everytime i hated my writing, you gave me the determination i needed to make it better. everytime i didn't do so well on a midterm, you were there to listen to me rant and rave continuously. everytime i fell, you were there to pick me up. everytime i cried, you gave me a shoulder for my tears. everytime i was sad, you made me smile.

and for all the tears to come, for all the memories we will create, for the happiness that is in store for you, for everything and anything that the world will bring upon us, here's to the past two years, everything in between, and all that is to come.

you were there for me. as i will be there for you. make me proud girl. i'm counting on it.
