Throughout high school, you were always told “someday you’ll find out who your true friends are.” As a sophomore in my fourth semester of college, I can finally say that I have found my lifelong best friends. These are the friends that I can trust with anything I share to them. And, they know they can trust me with what they have to share. Another great thing about my friends is that, they’re always down for adventures whether it be a road trip to a new place, or a road trip to McDonalds for a shamrock shake (they’re so good, I’m kind of obsessed!) My friends are always there to listen to my step-by-step thought process, because I spend way too much time over thinking and analyzing everything. Overall, they save me from insanity to say the least. What I think is most important about the bond of a friendship is honestly “the little things” in life. Laughing, crying, sending ugly snapchats to each other, eating ice cream 24/7, etc… I wouldn’t want it any other way. Another thing that is great about my friends is when we do not see each other, but then we reconnect later on in life. We pick up exactly where we left off a few months ago. I mean, we may all still text on a regular basis, but the beauty of a face to face conversation is truly beautiful.

I would like to personally thank my best friends for being there with me through thick or thin. Whether I have a bad day, need someone to talk to, talk about my obsessions of everything broadway (including Sutton Foster…check out my last article! #shamelessplug), or to just go get food with and catch up. Friends like these are worth keeping. I honestly do not know how my friends put up with my crap lol! I just want to say thank you all for everything you have done for me. We have all gone on this beautiful journey together, and I sure hope it never ends. Some of us have grown up together, some of us have met through different extra curricular activities, and some of us have just recently met, how insane is that? We started seeing each other from a distance, then becoming new friends, to good friends, to best friends, to being inseparable. Every step of the way has been absolutely insane. Once high school ended, we had to fight for our friendships to remain if we chose to. I currently only talk to one friend from high school, and her and I have a bond that is inseparable. We are like two peas in a pod. I love that our friendship has still stayed strong through two years of college. Anyways, I have zero idea what I would do without all of you. You all are stuck with me, but I would not want it any other way.

I love you all, you beautiful crazy humans.
