Distance Is Nothing On Friendship

True friends are never apart; maybe in distance, but never in heart.

Distance Is Nothing On Friendship
Hannah Mui

For many years distance has been destroying relationships, whether they be romantic or friendly. Let’s be real, keeping any kind of relationship is hard when you’re living miles and miles away. You can’t see each other everyday, visits have to be scheduled and time must be set aside to talk to each other. All of this can definitely hinder a relationship. And as a college freshman, it has surely not made the transition process any easier. Leaving home behind and going separate ways from friends normally means growing apart, especially when it comes to college. As you are both meeting tons of new people and making new friends it is easy to be distracted and lose your way from each other. But I am here to say this is not always the case! My best friend and I are living, breathing proof that distance can sometimes make a friendship even stronger.

Although it has only been a few weeks since I have left my small town for Brandeis University it has since proven that Kira (my BFF) and I are making long-distance friendship work like it’s no big deal. I know what you’re thinking: “It’s only been a few weeks. How do you know you’ll stay friends?” That’s the thing—I don’t know whether we will stay friends through the next four years and beyond. But what I do know is that past behavior can very often predict future behavior. For the last four years Kira and I have gone to separate high schools, so we are used to not seeing each other every day. It has definitely been quite a journey through the years but it has lasted this long and I am sure it will continue to work.

Distance can either be something amazing or something awful for a friendship. If you’re both trying to make it work then it will always work out. With the both of you having your own separate lives it always makes things more interesting when you get to talk because you both have your own new stories to tell the other. With all this amazing technology (Skype, texting and phone calls) it is so easy to keep in touch with people even if you don’t see them everyday. So, next time you’re thinking that you and your bestie are growing apart, pick up the phone and make an effort!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

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.
