I am very lucky. Some people really struggle to make friends when they first get to college, especially in their first year. I am so incredibly lucky to have met the best friends I have ever had in my first month of school.

People always did tell me that college friends are friends for life, but I did not anticipate how connected I would feel to them. Meeting them literally felt like I was meeting my clones. We enjoy the same activities, shows and have the exact same taste in music. The best is that we're all usually on the same wavelength, we all want to go out or we all want to stay in.

It feels like that friendship where we can hang out for hours doing nothing, but we're always having a good time together. I mean it when I say that I could hang out with them 24/7 - it's why we're roommates.

Honestly, meeting them was the best thing to ever happen to me. They are always there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on, or need someone to vent to. We can always hang out and do nothing together and still have the best time. We like the same music, we like the same movies. My friends make me feel so happy.

I have never felt so connected to anyone before and it feels amazing to have the friends that I do.

I am so incredibly lucky and so grateful that they are in my life.

This is the part where it's going to get super sappy.

I never really believed in the concept of soulmates before: romantic relationships are very complicated. After I met my now-roommates and the more we spent time together, the more we learned how similar we are. It literally feels like we're meant to be. I know this may sound dumb, but a connection like this must be what finding our soulmate feels like.

I'm saying this because I think more people should really start appreciating their best friends more. I think too many people, and especially too many people my age, are looking for that romantic connect. But ya know what, your best friends are really the ones that are going to be there for you through everything, you can always trust them and they are the ones that love you unconditionally.

Soulmates don't have to be romantic.

If you think about it, the best "soulmate-like" connection you'll ever experience is with your best friends. I know I love my best friends more than anything, and I don't know what I would do if I didn't have them.
