Finding A Group Of Girls Who Always Have Your Back Makes Your College Experience So Much Better

Even though it has only been about a year since I have met most of them, I can surely tell you that these girls will be my bridesmaids, my phone calls when I need a break from the exhausting world, and my biggest supporters in life.

Finding A Group Of Girls Who Always Have Your Back Makes Your College Experience So Much Better

All throughout grade school, I never really had a clique. I had friends in every class. They were there for me when I needed them and we had that connection. But, I was friends with all different people. In high school, one can say that I did have a group. We did always hang out together, but we fought a lot and there were a lot of sides taken and other basic high school drama stuff.

But in college, I met some of the most beautiful people and we all formed into one clique. This group of girls is my ride or die. Even though it has only been about a year since I have met most of them, I can surely tell you that these girls will be my bridesmaids, my phone calls when I need a break from the exhausting world, and my biggest supporters in life.

We always talk about how we all met and our friendships formed. We connect it back to destiny and luck. For example, the Quads are considered so unsocial and people get so upset when they have to dorm there, but we found our group from there. One thing I have realized is how different each one of us is, and even with our differences, we fit so well together.

Some of us have boyfriends while others are single

It is so common for friendships to get affected when someone has a significant other. The ones in a relationship hang out with their significant other all the time or hang out with friends whom they can go out on double dates with. The ones who are single bond together about their single status and start to feel distant from the ones who are in a relationship. We, too, have faced this common situation many times. However, we have always resolved them and helped each other find ways to balance our relationships and friendships.

Bollywood rules some of our lives, while others have no idea what we are referring to

For a few of us, Bollywood is literally our lives and when we all meet, we literally talk about the gossip, dance to songs, and watch movies. For the rest of us, we don't know those many Bollywood songs or know every reference that is mentioned. Instead of segmenting into smaller groups for our discussions, we update each other and explain our references. We don't make someone feel left out.

Our personality traits range from introvert to extrovert

Our group consists of people who are both introverts and extroverts. There are people who are really quiet and reserved. They open up when they are asked to. And there are people are the loudest ones of a party and so outgoing. Normally, the loud people would take over the spotlight from the quiet ones. However, in our group, the loud people make sure the quiets one talk and share their stories. No one gets overshadowed here.

Our majors are obviously not the same

Being college friends, it is pretty obvious that we are all studying different things. We all go to Rutgers, but most of us study at different schools with different majors within the university. Some of us are in the Business School and some of us are in the School of Arts and Sciences. These schools have their classes predominately on different campuses and our exam dates vary as well. But we always find ways to study for own exams together.

I am so thankful for finding my group of friends, my rocks. Everyone is literally one text away and always there for one another. I love these girls so much.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
