I came to BYU my freshman year planning to live with my cousin Hannah. She came a couple months before me, and she had already made best friends before I got there. At first I was nervous that I would feel left out and that I wouldn't ever make friends at college. However, as soon as I met Hannah's best friends Ashley and Erin, they informed me that I was also going to be their best friend. And ever since, that's how it's been. I love these three girls so much, and I'm so sad to be leaving them in 2 weeks.
Hannah.
Every awkward and embarrassing thing I've done in college was witnessed by Hannah. We had a major Sharpie war which left me with permanent marker scars. We had shower parties every Saturday afternoon where we blasted Kelly Clarkson from my iPod and forced our entire hall to listen to our obnoxious singing. Hannah encouraged my Snickers candy bar obsession, so much so that I probably ate one Snickers bar every day. If you ever want some embarrassing footage of me, just ask Hannah.

Erin.
I was most intimidated of Erin when I met her. She is just so beautiful, and I thought she wouldn't like me. Turns out, Erin is the nicest person on the planet. One of my favorite memories with her is when we drove all throughout Provo late one night in search of cookies. I don't know if we ever found them, but Erin definitely understands my sugar obsession. She's an amazing girl, and I loved our weekly temple trips Sophomore year. Erin's hometown is about 45 minutes away from mine, so we spent Christmas breaks and summers visiting each other.

Ashley.
At first, Ashley and I didn't hit it off really quickly, but now I just can't imagine my life without this girl! She was my best pen pal when I went to France. She always "had" to meet my boyfriends before we even started dating, just to make sure that she approved of them. She is the best note writer, and she always seems to know when I need words of encouragement. I'm always my goofiest when I'm around her, but at the same time, we have the best long, deep talks. She inspires me. Maybe one day, we'll open up a cupcake activity center for old people!

I'm going to miss these girls so much when I leave. We'll have to keep in touch and visit each other. I'm so grateful to have them in my life.
