From middle school giggles to college finals meltdowns, we have been through it all. What started as a simple friendship turned into a lifelong bond. A bond that has carried us through the stress of high school and college as we proudly earn our degrees. Olivia always knows exactly how to lift me up, make me laugh until I cry, and remind me who I am when I forget. She is my built-in therapist, cheerleader, partner-in-chaos, my soul sister, and my maid of honor. My forever best friend, and my favorite constant. I’m so lucky to have her by my side, today and always.

From working on junker cars together at The Career Center to taking turns driving on long road trips, Luis has been through thick and thin. True friends are hard to come by and even more so ones that go above and beyond what most people are willing to. Backhanded compliments and smug reactions are just his way of saying he likes you. His actions speak louder than his words anyway.
