Making friends in college is hard. You come from knowing every single person you went to high school with, to coming to a public university with thousands of new faces and not knowing a single one (or maybe you already know a few; regardless, it's hard to find that new group.) You no longer have that solid friend group because you most likely all went your separate ways.

Coming into college can be scary, especially if you think you're going to be experiencing it friendless like I thought. But I was way off, the friends you meet in college are unlike any other friends you have ever had. It might be scary at first, but if you put the effort in, you will have amazing friends in no time at all.

Feeling the way I felt the beginning of my freshman year, I would have never thought I would be where I am now when it comes to how many friends I have made.

To my new college friends,

Thank you for always being down for late-night food adventures and late-night studying adventures too! You guys have made my college experience unlike anything else and I am so grateful to have met you all! You make the hard college nights fun and the fun college nights even more fun. I can't wait for the next two years together. I'm excited to see what crazy adventures we embark on in the years to come!
