Friends you make in college are weird; they come into your life, not knowing one thing about you or your past.

The friends you make in college have probably never heard of your hometown. They don’t know who you’re talking about when you tell stories from when you were in high school, understand just how good your favorite restaurant at home is, and probably don't believe you were as good as you say you were at the sport you played in high school.

Unlike previous friends that you’ve grown up with and have known all your life, you have either met these people in class, your dorm, through a mutual friend, an athletic team, sorority, etc.

These people come into your life with no sign or indication of how important they will be to you.

Although you have only known them for a short amount of time, you feel closer to these people than previous friends.

You've bonded through tailgating football games, weekends going out or staying in, pulling all-nighters at the library, which led to the late-night phone calls for advice, spending every moment together and when you're not, you are holding a conversation by text, Snapchatting, tagging each other in a tweet that reminds you of another, while simultaneously commenting just how flawless they look in their Instagram picture and reminding them that they don't need a man.

Like I said before, making friends in college is weird. Mostly, because you cannot imagine your life without these once “strangers.”
