Dear Best friends,
You have all shaped me into the person I am today, and I cannot thank you enough for that.
Love you all.
I was the first one to leave for college out of all my friends. I was nervous but also excited for a change in my life.
The night before I left for preseason, I sat in my bed and thought to myself, "How did I get so lucky? How did I get so lucky have such awesome friends?".
We call ourselves the "Fab 5".
I have known two of them since I was in Preschool and two I was lucky enough to meet in sixth grade. A lot of people make new and different friends from middle school to the end of High school, but we have always stuck together. I truly do believe that there is a reason, that all these amazing and down to earth people have come into my life. Each one of them has such a different view about life, and I know I can go to each one of them about everything and anything. Each one of them has been there for me through thick in thin. When I did not think I could pick myself at times, these four girls were by my side guiding me in the right direction.
Sitting in my bed, the night before I left for college, I thought to myself "Are my bffs going to make new bffs?" or "Is college going to make us distant from each other?".
As we said our goodbyes, the never ending tears and tight hugs of not wanting to let go was the hardest part. Though, once I got to college I was ready for my next chapter in life. For the next two weeks I was at school for preseason with my Field Hockey team and I was lucky to meet such sweet and funny new people on my team who I adore. Though, certain things would remind me of my friends back home. The home sickness started to kick in a bit, but I knew that was a normal thing to go through when first moving into college.
Columbus Day Weekended was the weekended we had been waiting for, getting to see each other after of a month of not being with each other.
We all came home that Saturday and embraced each other with big hugs and excitement. We hung out all day with each other, of course belly laughing and telling stories about college so far. In that moment, I knew we were going to be best friends forever because even through distance and not being with each other everyday, nothing had changed.
Emily was still the bubbly, loving, and funny person she had always been.
Brianna was still the bright, kind and thoughtful person she had always been.
Samantha was still the lively, goofy and kind-hearted person she had always been.
Caroline was still the warm-hearted, sociable and brilliant person she had always been.
Forever the fab 5 <3
