Open Your Heart To New Friendships

Build a community full of love and support by opening yourself up to new people.

You're never too old to make a new friend and you should never stop trying to make friends because you think you have enough already.

Friends have the ability to transform our lives into something we could have never imagined.

They love us for exactly who we are and that's a special thing because unlike our family, they don't have to.

Friends are the people we want to go on wild adventures with because they remind us that life is short so we should have fun.

Remember not every friend in your life has to be your best friend, but you'll find your life is more enjoyable when you're surrounded by friends.

It's become somewhat unpopular to have many friends, but I think we should change that.

In college especially, we are exposed to so many people so why not take the chance to get to know some of them?

Every time you leave your house is an opportunity to meet someone new. You never know whose life you could end up touching, or who could touch yours.

If you walk around life being closed off and uninterested in anyone that isn't already your friend you'll miss out on so many amazing connections.

My sorority has taught me to open my heart to all kind of people, both within my sorority and without.

In a sorority, everyone has the same core values, yet at the same time, everyone is so different.

We come from different places and we're interested in different things, but we don't treat our differences as walls separating us, we look at them as qualities that make our organization stronger.

This idea has encouraged me to seek friendships with people I never imagined I'd get along with.

I've found I live a life full of love and support since I started opening my heart and my mind to people of all kinds.

So the next time you're in class waiting for a lecture to start, strike up a conversation with the person sitting next to you because there's always room in your heart for a new friend.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
