Thank you for being the best roommate I could’ve ever had. Thank you for showing me different parts of life that were hard to understand.
Thank you Vin for being my first friend at MCLA. Thank you for the laughs that we always shared at the café. Thank you for the deep talks that are rare, but I am glad they happen.

Thank you Kellie for being there for me. Thank you for letting me talk about whatever and not judging me. Thank you for making sure I was okay and asking me when you knew I wasn’t. Thank you for asking me how I am after talking about it the day before just to make sure I was in a better state.
Thank you Hannah for being one of the weirdest people I’ve ever met. Thank you for being there that day at the hospital. Thank you for making sociology bearable.

Thank you to everyone, mentioned or not, for being apart of my life, for showing me the way to life, and that I don’t need to be alone to do it.
