Hey Chlo,

We graduated. I can't believe I actually made it through college. I don't think I could've without you though. Right now your asleep in my bed, taking up the whole thing as well. You always look so peaceful when your sleeping, like the most beautiful girl in the world.

Tomorrow we leave Barden for good. I'm heading to LA and your heading to New York. You don't know that I'm going to LA though, we had agreed to go to New York together but I just can't. I have other things I need to do, and going with you won't allow me to do that.

I've been thinking back on all my memories throughout college, most of them include you. I thought back to when we first met, at the activities fair. I insulted your group but you somehow still wanted me to join, so much you invaded my shower. I was scared shitless that day, never did I think that would happen to me. I'm kind of glad it did though, without your craziness that day I would've never meet the girls who became my family.

You taught me how to be social, how to let people in. Before you I was closed off and scared to open up to anybody, even my father. I didn't really know how to be friends with someone, how to trust them, but you taught me how and I'm forever grateful for that.

You saved me.

I don't know when it happened, or how, or why, but somewhere throughout that first year of Barden I fell in love with you. Your bubbly, optimistic, carefree attitude drew me in and I could never escape. I always hated that you were with Tom, because he didn't deserve you. He was an ass and constantly hurt you. It took everything in me not to hurt him. The day you told me you guys broke up I was ecstatic, you could finally find someone who loved you like you should be loved.

I thought to when we won the ICCA's that first year, I finally felt like I belonged somewhere. That's the day I knew the Bellas were my family. Even though all the troubles with Aubrey, I finally felt like I have people in my corner.

I remember that first summer, you insisted that the Bellas FaceTime once a week to keep in touch. You also had to call me every night, I thought it was ridiculous at first but soon looked forward to those daily calls.

I still remember your face when I flew down to Florida to surprise you. I remember how upset you were when we couldn't FaceTime that night. I remember thinking 'little did she know' as I sat on my plane. It was definitely hard to pull off but I was thankful I had already met your parents and had your mothers number or that would've been ten times harder to do. I remember you leaping into my arms for a hug when you saw me. I also remember every little shop you pull me too, wanting to show me everything you loved from that place. It was one of the best trips I'd ever been on, thanks to you.

Our next two years at Barden were a blur to me. We got our own Bella house and were some of the most popular people on campus. We won the ICCAs those two years as well. We partied, we watched movies, we went on adventures, we grew as a family.

This year was probably the craziest though. With Fat Amy flashing all of America as well as the president, being stripped of our title, that German group who stole our tour and most importantly, Worlds. On top of all that I also had my internship. I remember Aubrey's bootcamp, and how I almost walked out on you all. Everything was just so hectic.

In the end we won, like I knew we would. Now we graduate and move on with our lives. Legacy will take over the Bellas and lead them to victory like we did. Amy will go back to Australia for a few years, Flo will create her juice truck business she's always wanted, Stacie will study to be a personal trainer/physical therapist which I honestly never expected, Jessica and Ashley will do whatever they do, Aubrey will continue with her camp, Cynthia Rose will train to be a pilot in the Air Force, lilly will do whatever Lilly does, I've learned to just not question her, and finally you will go to vet school and follow that dream.
