How To Know You Have Found Your People

During college you will come across many different souls, some who will be fair weather friends, and some who will step up and end up being some of the best people you know. Ever since I was younger, I had always struggled with finding people to friendship with. It was a Madea video that my mom showed me that really helped me, whether it a break up with a significant other or a friendship that fizzled out.

College is a great place to find your "roots." Though, you may befriend a few "branches" and be the acquaintance of many "leaves," don't let that bring you down! These are the signs that you have found your People!

1. You Stop Being as Apathetic To People

When you actually get acclimated to the idea of trying this whole "friendship" thing.

2. You Meet People And Don't Want To Stop Conversing

When you actually meet someone who speaks your vernacular. Please stay, kind stranger.

3. You're There For Each Other In Times Of Need

When crap hits the fan, these are the first people who you call.

4. When You Get Angry At Each Other You Know What To Do

Being upset sucks, but you both know how to deal with conflict.

5. Sleepovers Don't End In College

In college 9/10 times you're not sleeping in your dorm room.

6. You Build Each Other Up, Not Down

Friends who build each other up, are real friends.

Appreciate the friends you have and let them know you care.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
