To My Roommate Who I Thought Was My Best Friend

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

Dear Roommate who I thought was my one of my best friends,

I can’t believe we are at this point. I can’t believe we wont be living together next year. Everything was already set, and then out of nowhere you were just done. I never anticipated we would get along so well. I remember the first real time we hung out together. It was at Ihop the first weekend back at school.

We bonded through our love and obsession for shopping and especially TJ MAXX. We had our own jokes. We got to know each others friends. You had quickly become one of my best friends in college. We even joked about being in each others weddings.

I was there for you when the boy you cared for hurt you. I held you in my arms as you cried. I told you that you were too good for him and that you deserved so much better. You were there for me during my fights with my boyfriend.

You even gave me rides all the way back to home and we would jam to music for hours.

I don’t understand how you could so easily throw away this friendship. I might have gone about things poorly at times and I know that now. Losing a friend is hard no matter what. Unfortunately, I can not look at you the same anymore. The memories will always be there but unfortunately the friendship is over. We created so many memories together and it hurts to think that we will never make anymore.

Certain things were said to each other that will make it almost impossible to forgive. I will never forget the friend you were to me but I will always remember the unfortunate things that were last said.

Sincerely,

The other Roommate

Hello, Everyone! I’m Emma, a Sophomore at WVU majoring in Fashion Merchandising. I love cats, shopping and reality TV. I am a blogger called The College Stylist and fashion and beauty are my passions.
  I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student. Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’ My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself. My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
