I once heard, a good friend is hard to find, hard to lose, and impossible to forget. In my personal life, this saying has remained extremely evident. Throughout chapters of my life, I have made friends that have supported, loved and never doubted to make me laugh. No friend is quite like the others. No one could ever be replaced, or loved in quite the same way. Every friendship made is unique to the others. For that reason, each friendship is all the more special.
Entering college can be a tricky time for friendships. You miss your friends back home, but new friends are flooding into your life. Everyone is new and excited. Which makes the ability to make friends all the more easy. For me, leaving my best friend was detrimentally hard. I wish every second she was here to experience my life altering experiences. Four hours seems so far when you love someone so much; however, I know this is my life and that is hers. Nothing we could ever do could change the basis of our friendships. Our memories will never fade, and time spent apart will only make time spend together all the more fun.
At the same time, it is insane how close you can get to people in just two short weeks. I never imagined having such amazing hall mates, and that has made my transition all the more exhilarating. It is the little moments that prove true friendship, and I can already tell who my best friends will be for this year. No we have not been together for the insanely real life changing moments in each others lives. Honestly, we have not even spent birthdays together, yet it was a Friday night that our friendship rung true.
In the basement of a frat house, singing at the top of lungs Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer I knew this was a glorious start to glorious friendships. We were sweaty, dancing, and in that moment it did not matter what we looked like or who we knew. It was just us, holding hands, and enjoying the simplest moments of life. Something as stupid as an old classic song made us all come together with such jovial smiles and ponderous laughter. Some times it's the smallest moments that show us the most about each other.
Life is changing. People are crying in the hallway because there long distance relationships are folding before them. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is missing someone or something. Whether that be a best friend, a parent, a sibling, or even a pet, yet it is so much easier with good friends by your side.
