See ya!

You are my saviour. I was wondering around utterly and completely lost last year and then I met you. Uni was always so hard for me because I just didn't want to interact with people but eventually convinced myself that I must, so I spoke to you after class one day and I am glad that I did.

I am so thankful for everything you have done for me. I am so thankful for all the doors you have opened for me. I am so thankful for the friendship you extended to me. I thank my lucky stars that you consider me a good friend, because I have nothing but absolute respect and admiration for you.

You're spending the next year and a half abroad and I know you will have positive impact on the many people you will meet and even though I hate that you will be gone for a long time, I know this is what you must do. I wish you all the best.
