When I first came to visit Saint Mary's I was promised sisterhood. Coming from a small school where there was always drama I thought to myself, "bullshit". I still chose to come to Saint Mary's because the campus was beautiful and I loved the good vibes I had gotten every time I visited. When I first got here, I was so scared I wouldn't make friends or that there would be pointless drama, but of course, I was proven wrong. I received so many smiles and "hellos" every day. I made new friendships with people who are the complete opposite from me. I've made friendships that have assured me I will have my 12 bridesmaids one day. I don't have best friends, I have sisters. I have sisters that accept me for who I am, and love me for me. I can be who I am or express the way the feel, without the fear of being judged. Here is my list of thank yous to my best friends.

1. Thank You For Listening To My Rants

Even if it's about my relationship, family, big, or small problems. Or how I'm ranting about my class for a half hour when we can both be doing homework. You listen and give me advice, no matter what time of the day.

2. Thank You For Motivating Me

When I'm down in the dumps, or I'm simply being a bum, you're on my ass and make sure I'm on track. You look out for me, and without you, I'd be an even bigger bum.

3. Thank You For Staying Up With Me

When you're doing homework at night, or laundry, or whatever I decided to do at night, and you're dead tired, you stay there and keep me company and help me stay up. Even if it's with laughs or running to Cyber at night, we manage to keep each other up at night, no matter what time our first class is the next day.

4. Thank You For The Laughs

Regardless if we're laughing together or at each other, laughs are always guaranteed. We do dumb stuff together. We watch funny videos on Facebook. We always bring laughs and these laughs help ease off the hell that make up our hell weeks.

5. Thank You For Keeping It Real

Instead of talking behind my back when you're mad, you speak directly to me. We fix our problems and we're back to being happy friends. If you don't like something you are not afraid to correct me, which of course helps turn me into a better person. You are not afraid of honesty.

6. Thank You For Loving Me For Me

You accept me for who I am. Despite my weird habits, my raspy laugh, and whatever weird characteristics I have. YOU LOVE ME. It doesn't matter what I wear, where I come from, or what my music taste is. I could be far off from your side of the spectrum and you still love me, even if I'm not so lovable sometimes.
