To The Friends Who Saved Me

I wouldn't trade you for the world.

To The Friends Who Saved Me
uknown

We started a little unconventionally, and that is OK, in a lot of ways you guys saved me. Two of you I met during a late-night study session during finals week, one of you I met after I agreed to be your roommate, and as for the others--you all came as a group with these three amazing ladies. I could not be more thankful for all of you, and the friendships you have given me.

You probably read the word saved and got a little confused--I do not mean you all literally saved my life, but you know that already. But you have saved me from lonely meals, nights watching Netflix in my room alone, and opting to hang out with my older brother and his children ALL the time (Not that I do not love them, because I do, but having friends is great too). I met you all this past spring semester, and I have had some of the best times already, and I am definitely looking forward to more!

When I became friends with you, I was in between friendships. I had friends, but not the kind of friends I hung out with regularly. I could not text them and tell them my secrets. I could not call them to hang out late at night. I did not really fit in anywhere until you all found me, and I am so thankful to finally have my people. People I can trust, have fun with, and even live with.

Now that I have you all, I can say that I am looking forward to another year of college. I know that I have a group of trustworthy people who will stick by my side, and that is one of the greatest feelings. I am looking forward to great nights out, and even more fun memories. I cannot wait for the cozy nights in, stuffing our faces with Chinese takeout while we watch our favorite movies and TV shows. I am excited for any adventures we might get to go on as well, like our potential road trip to California, or even fun days at Six Flags. You all give me a year of memories to look forward to, and I cannot wait to be reunited with you in the fall.

To the friends who saved me. Saved me from being another forgotten student who ended up transferring. Saved me from long boring nights in my dorm room. Saved me from the lost feeling I had--thank you. Thank you from coming into my life and adding so much light to it. At this point, I do not know where I would be without you.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
