Dear Hometown BFF’s

Dear hometown BFF’s,

I’ve only been back at Iowa City for a week and I already miss you all. Being home for a month was truly needed. I wish we had more time, and we will again in 17 weeks. Coming home reminded me of a lot but taught me a lot too.

For starters, I found out who my true best friends are. I never thought I’d drift apart from some of the people I did, but it made me realize that our friendships weren’t as strong as I once thought they were. It showed me who put in the effort to keep our friendships alive even with all the distance, and for that I love you guys (you know who you all are).

Honestly, before heading up to college back in August I was nervous to see what all the distance would do to some of the friendships I had. I knew deep down that I wasn’t going to remain close to everybody, and that’s ok. It happens. But coming home to you guys who made it feel like we were never apart filled my heart. I’m so lucky to have found forever friends at home.

And to the friends I drifted apart from, I’m sorry. Whichever the reason may be, just know that you all have had such a special part in my heart as well and always will. I wish nothing but the best for you guys and your futures, and if you ever want to catch up I will always be here too.

It’s a scary thing to think about, but it’s neat to see everyone begin their own lives. Some of you guys are seniors in high school while others of you are in different colleges. Wherever you may be, just know that you’ll have me by your side through it all. Distance means nothing with friends like you guys.

Thank you for making the month at home one of the best times I’ve had in the old 712. Can’t wait to see each and every one of you. Love you guys.

Xoxo,
Lizbeth
