I lived nearly my whole life in a some-what small town right outside of Jackson, MS. In that time, I found one factor that always holds true: the friends that I made there will last me a lifetime. The friends that have been with me since I was two, or even since high school, are some of the only people that I can claim that have truly been there for me constantly. Some of the best people in my life I only see a few days a month, and sometimes even just on holidays. I do not talk to these people every day, and some probably not even every month. But, whenever we get back together, we can immediately pick up where we left off. It does not matter if it's been a year, it’s always like we haven’t missed a day. I have these people to thank for getting me where I am today.

Katelyn is my voice of truth; she calls me out on my crap and keeps me grounded. Through every up and down she sticks with me.

Sara is my Whataburger partner at home, and the person that keeps me from losing my mind at school.

Shane and Mary have been my friends for the longest and have seen me through every stage of my life (and not given up on me).

Patrick, Curt, Katelyn, and Camille keep me laughing through even the darkest times.

I guarantee that every person reading this has these people in their lives. Without the constant support of these people, I would not be the person that I am today. Granted, I have wanted to kill each of these people probably a hundred times, but at the end of the day we all know that we have each other. We have seen each other through relationships and breakups, high school and now college, laughter and tears, and countless other occasions. Every person deserves people like these in their lives. I can promise you, that my life would completely suck without these people.
