writing letters
So my 4 best friends and I are going off to university this week. Tomorrow night we are getting together and giving each other letters.
I need to write a letter for each of my best friends with like memories and what I like about them and stuff.
I have no idea how to go about doing this. I am really not very good with words (but I can't draw either so that's not a viable alternative). Like I can form sentences but I just don't know what to say. My brain doesn't like to mix words and emotions...
Any help of any kind is welcome! Thanks

I use to be more verbal than written which I think may be your problem. One of the biggest problems I had with being more verbal was back when I was in school, back in the dark ages with the Flintstones, we had to write these long essays. It just wasn't in me to do that.
My dad came up with a crutch, and aid, for me to use to help me get through these assignments. He bought me a tape recorder. I Would do the essay first by speaking into the tape recorder then transpose the tape to paper.
You could do the same thing using your smartphone if you want. Set your phone photo record and talk to it as if you were talking to each of your friends. Then just transpose the recording to paper. I could suggest sending them a photo letter instead of a written letter but large photo files are hard to send on some email servers so it may not be possible to do that.
Using the tape recorder as a crutch was helpful and today I no longer need the tape recorder I can in a sense talk to myself and type at the same time; then go back and edit.

Maybe you could start with making a list of everything you did with the particular friend. All your memories together. And next to every memory, write at least one word about how that memory makes you feel. And then just put all that into sentences and try to embellish it a little bit.
Also think about the influence that your friends had on you all this time. Like, something they changed about you, something they helped you with in your personal life.
What you like about them should be easy for you if you're close with them. Just make a list about that too and try to put it into sentences.
