When I first came to college, my biggest fear was that I wasn't going to make any friends. Which for any one who knows me, knows that is a very silly fear. I am a loud mouth, who will talk to anyone and always has an opinion.

My roommate was my first friend in college, we had texted a little before we came to college, but you can not really tell that much from a text message. To be quite honest, I had no idea what to expect on that August move in day. But we instantly hit it off, and al during orientation week we didn't want to leave the room alone because we both didn't really know anyone yet.
As time went on, I branched out, and started talking to more people, some in my field and some not. This was a wake up call for me, to think that a couple weeks before that I was scared that I wouldn't talk to anyone, let alone make friends. Looking back now, I just laugh because I am surrounded by people who I care about. Which is crazy, saying that twelve-ish weeks into the semester. I am involved in my major, while having a group of people who I can vent to about everything and them laugh because they know I am stressing over nothing.
These girls not only became my friends, but they became my sisters. To think that I did not know them a few weeks ago blows my mind. We have laughed so hard that I think we got an instant six pack, cried together, and stayed up way too late . We are constantly in and out of each others rooms. At times, we forget what dorm room is actually ours. And don't get me started about the noise complaints, because you already know we get enough of those. We all know when we hit the point of being too tired, because we can never shut up, let alone stop laughing.
The future is always a mystery, I mean next year we could all be in different dorms, not right next to each other. Which would be awful, but for right now we are perfectly fine with staying up until four A.M. with an early class in a few short hours. We are okay with hobbling down the hallway because if we walk any faster we will pee our pants because we laughed so hard. Our random dance parties, and learning the moves to the hottest dance routines is our nights.
I am content with college right now, where most people are stressing, and I wouldn't change my situation for anything. So shoutout to all my ladies for making college fun, even if we all have essays due Monday morning. Sounds like a bad decision, do it.
