Relocating to another state for college was a huge change in my life, I didn’t go to college with anyone I knew from home and it was really scary thinking that I was going to be all on my own. Luckily I made some amazing friends through out the year that helped me grow to love my college experience.
1. My best friend
We all have a best friend who is there when we need them but, I have had the opportunity to know not only her, but her amazing family because they basically adopted me through my first year of college! We spend an unnatural amount of time together and I’m almost positive she knows my every thought. We are together so much it's almost like we are a couple, we have stupid couple fights about literally nothing, as well as had dates with each other. (ex. Spa day, fancy dinners) We stay up all night in the library together to study, and get our lives together because we both go through phases of it being a total disaster. I know she will be brutally honest with me and pull me back to reality when I get extremely lost at times. She has introduced me to some of the coolest people I know and helped bring out my inner theatre nerd.
2. My guy best friends
These boys know every embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me because some how I willingly decided to tell them. They have picked me up for midnight food runs, been mine and my friends’ dates to sorority parties, listened to me rag on and on about my girl problems, and most importantly helped me create some really cool college memories. With the help of these guys I can honestly say I have been to some really cool sushi places where I only ordered chicken, stalked Nick Jonas at 3 am outside of Frosted Top after seeing him in concert earlier that week, and gone to some really cool museums around the city because it was required for school but nobody wants to do that alone.
3. My girl best friends
These girls are the best I met them all through out different time of this year and they are all so amazing. They have all let me stay with them on occasion because I wanted to hang out, they have given me valuable guy advice because our ages all vary and we all have different levels of experience, they have taken me out, gone to karaoke with me, pulled studying all-nighters with me, pulled regular all-nighters with me and they genuinely have brought me out of my fear that I entered college with.
Friends could be our lifelines in some of the hardest situations in our lives, I have made some great ones this year they all have helped me grow in different ways because they all are very different in their own way, they are there for me when I need it, and are the people I call when things happen in my life.
