I can easily say that I enjoyed high school. I did well in my classes, was super involved, and most importantly I had a solid group of friends that I spent the majority of my time with. Post graduation, and now almost four years after high school has ended, I've seen those friends drift away. It's something that happens, of course, people change and communication is lost. With being so far away from home while my high school friends all go to college together, I understand why I don't see them when I go home anymore.

So, maybe my high school friends and I weren't as good of friends as I had thought we were back in the day. My college friends though? I honestly don't know what I'd do without them.

They're the ones who took turns sitting with me in my hospital room when I got appendicitis at three in the morning. The people I leave my hometown early during breaks for because not seeing each other for even two weeks is just too much time apart. My college friends and I make spontaneous trips out of town and still have sleepovers at each other's apartments like we're six years old.

The thing is, there's just a different dynamic now. I am so grateful that I can just drive a few minutes at any time of the day or night and I have someone who is excited to see and hang out with me.

Thank you to every friend I've made in the last few years. You have all shown me what true friendship means, and I cannot thank you enough. I'm thankful that the only big problem I have to face with y'all is figuring out how many bridesmaids is too many.
