As you have probably heard me say or have seen me mention in my previous articles, my best friends at school are truly some of the greatest, funniest, most genuine, smartest, and kindest people I have ever met. There's no way I would love Providence as much as I do if they weren't a part of my life here at school. I remember being so nervous about making friends at school when I was applying and making college decisions about two years ago. I was nervous about being able to find friends and about how those friends would be once I dd find them. Little did I know then that I had absolutely nothing to worry about. There are so many things I need to thank them for and I probably don't say thank you as much as I should.
