Dear Abigail,

Firstly, GREAT JOB!! KEEP IT UP!!!

I just wanted to let you know that you’re an inspiration to us all. I mean putting up with Katie as a roommate for 3 years…. But seriously though, you’re an awesome person and you really are super inspirational. There are few enough people who do double majors, fewer still who double major in subjects as hard as bio and chem, and then you’re on exec for DM as well? That’s a seriously impressive list right there, and you seem to just take it in your stride.

But it’s not your list of achievements that makes you so special in my book. It’s the fact that when I was a terrified little freshman taking a big scary physics class at Northwestern for the first time you welcomed me into your group just because I was on the same team as your roommate. It may seem like that’s a small thing but at the time it meant a lot that you guys not only let me sit with you, but also accepted me as part of your group and your jokes.

Thank you also for being a great friend since them and fielding my questions on Chemistry as well as putting up with all the fencing antics. I know we can be a little (a lot) crazy.

I’m so glad that you had a chance to come visit me in England. It seemed like you enjoyed it a little, you’re always welcome back if you decide it wasn’t too gross and rainy. I actually think that you and Katie might be more excited about my country than I am, I can only apologize that I don’t have the accent. Maybe my sister will be around more next year and she can be a better replacement.

I suppose you’ve probably got to get back to dancing and looking at the rest of your care package so I’ll leave you with this: I’m so glad that I met you and I’m honored to be able to call you a friend. Keep Calm and Stay Awesome.

Best of luck on the rest of DM, I’ll see you soon I’m sure.

Lots of love,

Yvonne
