To my beautiful Juj,

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! To know you, is to know the definition of a truly beautiful (inside and out), one-of-a-kind, and unforgettable human. Here are just a few of the many many things I love about you: your wanderlust, loyalty to the people around you, sense of humor, very frequent use of the word dude, impressive dedication to sushi and cheese, adventurousness, tight hugs, lil southern charm 😉, ability to talk about anything with anyone, and your big smile which brightens EVERY single room you walk in. I’m so eternally grateful that DG brought us together and to have you as my little, friend, and soul sista. I love you so big and am so excited for all we have in store!

Xoxo, D.

To my lovely big,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIANNA. What I would to do celebrate with you! The answer is A LOT. Probably too much. I love you so very much and honestly I’ve loved you since the second I started talking to you during rush. Your heart is so big it’s impossible not to notice it as soon as you start speaking. I am beyond grateful that you’ve come into my life. I really do feel like I’ve found someone who’s just as crazy as me which is really very comforting and a little bit scary too… but I’m 100% here for it. Sometimes I fear we’re too similar because the advice you give me is always exactly what I want to hear-- a super rare and honestly amazing trait you have. I think it’s because of how sympathetic, caring, and understanding you are as a person. Anyways, I miss your face and your hugs and long conversations on your couch and I absolutely cannot wait to see you. I hope your birthday was as marvelous as you are, dear. All the love in the world 🙂

❤ your munchkin, Ruby

Little Carol,

Love,

Dennis Quaid and your big

To the best big a girl can ask for,

happy birthday!! I can’t wait for more bridge coffee dates and lounging on the quad. I knew were meant to be best friends when we both wanted green beans in our littles basket and are both obsessed with god himself Harry Styles! I hope you have the best day and I can’t wait to have more fun times in DC!

My sweet sweet Abigail,

I’m so sorry I can’t be there with you to celebrate your birthday, so just pretend I’m sending a million virtual hugs to you. In the short time I’ve known you, you’ve changed my life in countless ways and I can’t thank you enough for all of the light, positivity and love you’ve brought into it. You have so much kindness, courage, spontaneity, craziness and selflessness in your tiny body and I don’t know a single person that doesn’t agree with that. I knew from the moment I met you that we would be good friends, and I can’t help but feel like it was some weird hand of fate that brought us together. Love you little A and I can’t wait to squish you soon!! Sending lots of love on your 19th💛💛

Love,

Clare

Erin!!

My heart and my soul💛 Happy birthday beautiful. I’m forever proud of the person you are and the person you continue to become. Your selflessness, perseverance and strong sense of self is so admirable and I’m so grateful I get to call you my best friend. You are truly an amazing young woman who inspires me and everyone around you to do good and be better. I miss your smiling face more than you could ever imagine and I can’t wait to squeeze ya in person!! I’m counting down the days until we are reunited but until then - “I am Beyoncé always”- Michael Scott, talking about you.

I love you, and I aspire to be like you 💛

xoxo,

Chlo

Happy birthday beautiful!

Thank you for all the coffee dates, nights out and nights in. Couldn’t imagine AU or Delta Gamma without you. WOOO to 20 you’re my favorite person ❤ please come back to DC soon so I can squeeze you!

here’s an acrostic poem for u:

M-aking everyone’s day better
A-lways is genuine
D-own to hang in the bridge for hours
D-idn’t transfer freshman year
I- love you!
E-xcellent dancer at heist

🥺 I can’t wait to celebrate with you!!! I love you like crazy!

Happy 21st birthday! I know this isn’t the celebration you probably had hoped for but I hope this day is full of happiness.
