As we move through life, our friends come and go. How many of us have the same friends we had in Kindergarten? The good friends are the ones who always stay your friends, and I don't just mean on Facebook.f
The good friends are the ones that are there for you. They are the ones who won't hesitate to help you because they love you.
This Thanksgiving season, I am thankful for my good friends, my people that are there for me. Throughout my life, I have learned too many times that people will take advantage of the trust you give them, and I am constantly amazed by the amount of people that care about me.
In my short time at college, I have already made so many good friends. We've bonded through late-night Steak N' Shake runs and Scooby-Doo fruit snacks, and we have growing Snapchat streaks. Our time together has been brief, but it feels like years. A couple weeks ago, I sprained my ankle really bad, and my friends were there for me. From helping me get my meals to driving me to Wal-Mart to doing my laundry, they have helped me with everything.
If you truly treasure your friends, let them know. Depending on the favor, you may not be able to return it, but always let them know you're grateful. I try to tell my friends I love them every day, and I often give them little tokens of my appreciation. Hand-drawn pictures and random goodnight texts may not seem like that much, but you don't know how much your friend needed that.
So, this Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for good friends. My familyhas to put up with me, but these people choose to put up with me.
