Remember the first day of the first year of the first time in your life
   you started your journey to getting old,

Remember the roommates, the fears, the tears, the nerves, setting up the
   room, taking it apart and then rearranging it all over again,

Remember the first girl who caught your eye, that same girl who you will
   still remember as your first college crush,

Remember attempting to keep in touch with high school friends, and
   succeeding until you realized what a phone bill REALLY meant,

Remember promising to never change, but then realizing that's an impossible
   promise to keep when high school has passed and you've moved on,

Remember those first friends you shared your fears with, who soon became
   acquaintances,

Remember those neighbors and classmates, who ended up becoming your
   closest friends,

Remember holding back the tears on those days when you just wanted to be
   home again, to feel safe again,

Remember those days you felt you couldn't relate to ANYONE, you felt you
   had no place, and just calling home would make it worse,

Remember those unending nights, when you never felt closer to a certain
   person, and how that closeness creates ties that never die,

Remember how you never realized the importance of family, until you
   didn't see them everyday,

Remember telling friends the deepest secrets of your life, and knowing
   they'd remain secrets,

Remember the craziness of the dorm, getting sudden bursts of energy and
   looking for people, even total strangers, to harass,

Remember pulling all nighters, and never thinking they were as bad as they
   sounded until ycu actually lived through one,

Remember when your closet stretched throughout the whole floor and you
   never had to worry about a lack of clothes anymore,

Remember how over breaks you had the chance to step back and really see
   the friends you made and the memories shared, and you were satisfied,

Remember thinking HOW MUCH yaur life has changed in just months,

Remember that dream guy, you thought about so much, who when he finally
   opened his mouth, changed your opinion of him forever,

Remember how that girl you once lived for soon became a joke and an
   excuse for you and your friends to laugh at yourself,

Remember the times, never forget them, even the little ones can hold the
   greatest meaning,

Remember to never lose touch with those friends ycu've made here at
   college, because you have all changed and grown enormously together,
   and that is something very sacred to be shared,

Remember you are only here for a short while, the time flies before you
   realize it, so make it last, make it memorable, make it the best time
   of your life, and make the best memories that you can carry with you
   for the rest of your days,

Remember this doesn't last forever so never let a day go by without
   living it to the fullest,

Remember to never let a day go by without a laugh,

Remember to love the ones you love, life isn't forever,

Remember the laughs, let them echo in the back of your mind,

Remember to love your friends, whether they come, go, love you or hurt
   you, NEVER let anyone go,

And always remember, when you leave here in four years you are leaving
   with much more than you walked in here with.
