Great for yearbook or graduation letters, this goodbye message can be given to a fellow student or friend before leaving for college.
Dear {Recipient},
It seems like you and I have been friends our whole lives. If we don't count everything before age 3 that I can't remember anyway or that weird phase from age 7-9 where I had the uncontrollable urge to bite people, I feel like we've gone through everything together side by side. You have always been the one person I can count on.
Which is why this isn't a for-real goodbye letter. Yes, you'll be at {College Name} and I'll be at {College Name}, but guess what? Skype and Facebook have no idea that we'll be {distance} apart. You better believe that you're going to hear about my weird new roommate who probably collects {his/her} fingernail clippings in jars, and I better hear about all the cute {girls/boys} in your Intro classes.
I'm really excited for both of us to go out and do new things and meet new people. I think it'll be fantastic to experience more of the world and to come back for the holidays with great stories to share. I know that things are going to be different now. I just want to let you know that even if we don't talk for months, I am always 100% your best friend. You can call me at any time, for any reason.
Good luck at {College} and stay away from the frat parties!
Love,
{Sender}
