College is a crazy, stressful time. We spend most of our hours locked away in dorm rooms of libraries studying our butts off to make the Dean's List and get one step closer to the career we've always dreamed of. But in between classes, work, and club meetings comes some of the greatest moments - the moments we spend with our friends. College friends are special, strong, and unique. I've been lucky enough to have some amazing friends in college, making this journey even more beautiful.
If it wasn't for my college friends, who else would I sneak out with on a Friday night to get pizza with, giggling the whole way there? Who else would try to get me to go out on a Thursday night...even though we all know it's not the brightest idea because Friday classes are still (unfortunately) a thing? Who else is going to be right there beside me laughing and taking selfies in a messy bathroom? But beyond being there for me during my crazy moments, these same friends are right by my side when things get rough. If I'm going through a breakdown that I shouldn't go through alone, I know that there's someone just one text or phone call away ready to save me with hugs, ice cream, and laughter. College friends will help you study when classes get tough and wipe the tears off your face when your ex dumps you...again. And in between the nights out, the midnight McDonalds trips, the library study sessions, and the heart-to-hearts, college really is the time where you meet your life-long best friends. I've spent too many nights questioning how in the world I survived my life up until this point without them.
Dear college friends, thank you so much for always being there for me. Thank you for making me a better person and a better friend everyday. Thank you for motivating me and teaching me. Thank you for being a little crazy with me. Thank you for pushing me farther than I ever thought imaginable. Thank you for being so understanding and so loving. I really have been blessed with some amazing friends in college who have made this journey so much better. I know I couldn't survive college without you by my side...and I thank you everyday for always being there.
