20 Reasons Why You Rock, And You Should Never Change

2016!! We're apart, but I needed to remind you of what makes you great, and the incredible things that lie before you - I hope that I'll be there to witness them, and many more of your birthdays too! Love you!

1. Your birthday lands on St. Patrick's Day

ya lucky bitch. If you go to Chicago, the river will turn green (kind of gross, but make it work). Not to mention all the IRISH BABES that will be partying on your birthday - see above

2. You always catch me when I FFFFFFFFall

3. And you'll always laugh when we make that super old, over-used and irrelevant inside joke

much like I'll always laugh at this picture. forever

4. That's because you're incredibly loyal to the people you love

look at how INTENSELY you are listening to Izzah tell this story. I don't think she'll ever let you escape being her roommate ever again if you still pay her this much attention...

5. Especially to the man you love - CHANNING

Honestly your loyalty manifests itself most impressively in your devotion to the Tatum. you have loved him ever since you watched that first street dance movie, and I have no doubt that your passion will never be extinguished

6. You still love him, even in this ridiculous get up

case in point

7. Your music taste is quite admirable

You were the one who taught me my 6 favorite country songs. thank you.

8. You made us a private facebook group

which was honestly such a practical idea because I'm getting a lot of ideas from there as I write

sumaymoo and lulubra for life

9. You allow me to talk about boring shit when i just need to

me: look at all the problems I have. I like this boy but I refuse to do anything about it

you: very interesting. let's dissect

10. You do your best to love the people around you

even when they're all being shitheads and you have to deal lol

11. You love yourself

even though it is hard sometimes... and you're so so so so SO inspiring for it. I picked this picture because i've never seen anyone look so flawless. no sarcasm at all. those CHEEKBONES

12. You're great at listening, and giving approval

which is going to make you a fantastic therapist. just give em the ol thumbs up

13. Your motivation is SO MOTIVATING

Look at ya. Natural cheerleader

14. and you know that if all else fails...

just looking at a picture of Channing will get those butts up and moving!!!

15. You've taught me so much about life

I can't think of a better friend to spend my most formative years with. Thanks for growing up with me!!!

16. For example: how to take super hot pictures

I was still learning here...

17. For another example: how to make fun of myself

You're good at teasing me, and reminding me to take things lightly. life's a laugh!!!!

18. Before I finish, I'll give you another look at channing

you deserve it babe <3 <3 <3

19. You still talk to me even though I'm 2000 miles away

Our conversations are continuous, and sometimes don't need words

20. And you're my BFFLAETTE

because I think our friendship is stronger than ever now that we can't spend every class period together.

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! This list is just a dumb attempt to be funny and make you laugh on your birthday since I can't give you a proper hug.

All of the love in the world should belong to you lovely! I pray always for your happiness and health. Happy happy birthday!
