Friends come and go throughout your life, but everyone talks about having those friends that you talk to years after you met. You may meet them as childhood friends or in college or even as a grown adult. I met mine during high school.
It was during the second semester of my sophomore year. It was my last semester of P.E. and I was in class with them both. During P.E., we bonded over the stereotypical thing that girls talk about: boys. We were all in current relationships, so we all had something to talk about in the locker room. We got excited about the little things in our relationships and gradually started to get to know each other even more.
That was only the beginning. We were all involved in the theater group at my high school together, we were there for each other when our relationships ended and we danced the night away at prom. We put up with all the madness and stress that is high school.
The great thing about these best friends is that they are always there for you. No matter if you are just down the road or all the way across the country, they will be there for you with a phone call, a plate of freshly made chocolate chip cookies or just a hug. They are there to listen to you complain, cry, rant or gush over whatever is happening in your life. I have had several three-way phone calls on the train back to school talking about my life without them constantly in it. But I know they are always there. We may be apart, but we will never miss a beat.
When you are at a crossroads, they always give the best advice. When you have what seems like an impossible situation, they will be the one to tell it to you straight without holding anything back. But it doesn't matter. Because you know they want the best for you. They want to see you succeed in life whether that is with a job, moving somewhere new or telling you to go for the boy that has been talking to you for a month. And even if you fail, they will pick you back up and tell you to keep trying. They are another support system for you when life gets hard.
On top of it all, we have some of the best memories together. All three of us went on vacation together for a weekend. Just the three of us. I have never had a more memorable weekend with some of the people I adore. The hundreds of blanket forts we have made with our countless sleepovers at home while watching movies late into the night will always be my favorite. Especially on prom night, when at 1 AM, we go into the kitchen to make some cinnamon rolls just because we can!! Those memories are the things that make me smile whenever I think of them.
Before I left for college, we all had our doubts on if we would keep up with this friendship when we all go separate directions to our different schools. Someone told the three of us that if you want to, you can make it work. I did not have one doubt in my mind that I could never let these girls go. One year later, our friendship is as strong as ever. A friendship so strong that I consider them to be my future bridesmaids.
It has been four years since we met and the unbreakable trio was formed. These girls have been with me through thick and thin. We have gone on vacation together, we have revealed some of our darkest secrets and we have had some laughing moments so funny that they made us cry. Even with our separate lives at college, we are always so eager to hear about it and see them for breaks. My love for them will never compare to all the things they have given me.
