It is when I'm alone, that I miss my friends the most. Since I left to attend school at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, I haven't seen them. I've talked to them on Facebook messenger, but it's really not the same. I've made great friends here, but they can't replace them. I just miss hanging out with them. I miss laughing with them. I miss playing Dungeons and Dragons and watching scary movies. I told myself that I would be fine, but I'm really missing them right now. During the summer we pretty much hung out nonstop, and now that they're three or so hours away, it's not really an option. Although Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up, I don't know if I'm going to get to see them considering we all have our own family things to do. One of them will be attending here next fall though, so there is a lot of planning to do.

This is just kind of a reminder to take a moment out of your day to be thankful for the people in your life because sometimes things can change, and then your life is different. I want to thank Abbi, Jamie, Elizabeth, Shilah, Kaitlyn, Jodee and Lauren for being my friends. You guys mean more to me than you know.
