Coming into College, I had my close high school friends with me and I was so excited, but I was nervous after sorority rush we would not be as close. To this day they are still all my best friends, but I have met new and lifelong friends that I honestly do not know how I managed life before without them. You see, college friends are different because you do not get pushed into being friends with them In an atmosphere like high school. In, high school you learn to become friends with the group you grow up with, but in college it is a totally different ballgame. Thanks to my sorority, I have met friends that I genuinely love because they are as goofy, weird, and always down to get deep with me. We do not get sick of each other, which is so different for me because with my personality, I usually get very tired of people after hanging out with them for a long period. They will always be down to go to cookout with me at 12 a.m. while belting anything from Lemonade Mouth to Lauren Daigle. We go from crying laughing about weird stories from our most embarrassing moments to crying about what we are going through at the moment. This is just something that is so new to me that I am constantly overwhelmed with joy. With living in a dorm, you become best friends with all the people on your floor because they become like a family to you. I can go over to my neighbors room at 3 a.m. and know without a doubt that they will watch Disney Plus with me. It's the little things that make college friendships so unique. I know without a doubt in my mind that the girls I have met so far throughout my college experience that these girls will be my lifelong friends and my bridesmaids one day.
I know this post is so sappy and sentimental, which is very unlike me, but every word is honestly just so true. I hope every senior that is scared to move on from their highs cool best friends to read this and to know that I promise you will not lose that friendship with them, but you will find a new and different kind of friendship that is so much more meaningful. So please do not be scared to start a new life in college because it is one of the best things that has happened to me, and I can not wait for everyone to experience this.
