What My 'Day One' Best Friends Need To Hear As We 'Grow Up'

We've always have been there for each other and always will be, no doubt about it.

What My 'Day One' Best Friends Need To Hear As We 'Grow Up'
Ashley Denton

As time goes on, people grow up. They go to different schools, get jobs, sometimes even multiple giving them less time to do as they please. Sadly, friendships are no exception to this so-called unsaid rule. As we grow up, so do our friends which means the usual weekly or even daily hangouts become more and more scarce as time goes on.

This is something I've quickly come to the realization of lately.

A few times in the past few weeks, I've found myself with little free time and when I have had free time, I've tried to set something up, even if it was just coffee, just something to see my friends and sadly getting the text, "Sorry I'm working," "I have class," and "I really wish I could but I have to study and then I have work." These are just a few of the examples of how time and life will try to separate us as we grow.

I know it's the way of life, right?

You grow up and become your own person with your own responsibilities and your own new grown-up life and then suddenly people of your past, your friends you've had since childhood, all become a little less important as time and years go on.

I'm here to say that's not the case with me.

My friends have always and will always be my go-to's, and some of the most important people in my life. They know me better than anyone else. Yes, I know we will all grow up and go to school for different things, get married, and someday have families of our own, but we will be there for each other through it all, every step of the way.

We may not have known each other our whole lives, but it's not about who you've known the longest, it's about who's always been there when it really counts and mattered and these ladies fit the bill perfectly. We've always have been there for each other and always will be, no doubt about it.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
