Whether you are a freshman or an upperclassman, the semester is finally coming to an end. So, we all have a decent understanding about the basics of college and what goes on while you're there. So, I hope all of you can relate to this. And if not, come check back in after spending a little more time with the people on your campus.

If you read my first article, you know that I was one of the lucky ones that bonded very strongly with my freshman year floor-mates. We all still live together for the most part, and are still living in our respective little groups again next year. I'll spare you the details since I already wrote an entire article on them, but we are all very close and I am so fortunate to have met them so early in my college career.

As for my friends from home, I love them just as much as my school friends. They're the ones who have been there with me through everything, including teenage drama, my first breakup, fights with my parents, and finally graduating the terrible place we call high school. They're the ones who are always not-so-patiently waiting for me to get home from school and who are always ready to come over at the last minute to watch Nicholas Sparks movies while eating an entire gallon of Moose Tracks ice cream.

Now, I do consider both of these groups my best friends, and I love them both equally for a variety of different reasons. But, each of these types of friendships are incomparable to the other. The dynamic of the friendship is so different, which is another reason that I am so lucky to have the best friends that I do, both at home and at school.

At school, my friends and I have seen each other at our absolute bests and our absolute worsts. When we all lived together, I can't remember one waking moment that I was by myself. We took classes together, we ate every meal together, we went out together, we did homework together, and we even had sleepovers within the dorm. When you spend this much time with someone, or a group of people in my case, you naturally get very close and very comfortable with them. And yet, our friendships never felt forced. I have grown to love these people so much, and I know they will be in my life forever.

At home, my friendships are different but equally as exciting and loving. My home friends and I do fun things together like going into Washington D.C. to shop or eat, going to National Harbor to ride the huge Ferris Wheel, or going driving on our backroads and blasting country music. I do spend a lot of time with them, and there is never a dull moment while we are together. We are comfortable enough to walk into each other's houses and rifle through the fridge for snacks during movie nights, and we call each other's parents by their first names. These are friendships that have been building for years and years, some even from elementary and middle school.

All in all, the dynamic is different, but the love is all the same. No matter what school you go to or where you live, the bond with your college friends will always be different than the bond with your friends from home. This is not to say you will love one group more than the other, because you won't. There is no comparison, you are just a different kind of person with each different group. I got super lucky with both of my groups of friends, and I hope all of you get to experience love like I have as well.
