Friends are the family that you get to choose. No matter how long you've known them, where you met them or where they are now, your friends are a part of who you are. Imagine where or who you would be without them. As you grow older and start your college years, you begin to notice that you have many different types of friends, from those at home to the ones you've met in school.
1. Hometown friends
Nobody (and I mean nobody) can replace your high school BFFs. These are the friends that you've known since pre-k and beyond. They're your neighbors and your high school clique. You battled years of boys, puberty and high school together, and nobody will know you better than they do. You'll never get bored of them because at this point, you've known most of them pretty much your entire life. They're your go-to for pretty much anything.
2. Long distance friends
Some of the best people you know are your long distance friends. These are the friends that you don't see everyday. It doesn't necessarily mean that they live far away, but you just might not get the chance to see them that often, such as the people from high school you lost touch with. You'll get a chance to see them once in a while, and you'll wonder why you don't get together more often. But you know you'll always be there for each other no matter how long it's been.
3. College Friends
Your college friends are the girls that you met in your first year that you couldn't imagine being without. They are the people that you called your best friends within a few days. Most likely, these girls are your roomies and you pretty much do everything together. From Starbucks runs to late night study sessions to going out on the weekends, you're always together and making the most of your college experience.
4. Your pre-game friends
In college, these are the people you know you're going to have a good time with. They are the people that you try to stick with throughout the night because you know you'll always have a blast.
5.Your school friends
These are the friends that you don't really hang out with outside of class all too much, but they're the people you sit with in every class. They're most likely the same major as you, and they get all the struggles you're going through. From business majors taking accounting to physical therapy majors taking anatomy, you get through it together. Without these friends, you don't think you would have been able to pass any of your classes or even stay awake.
6. Family friends
This might be one of the most important friend groups that emerges when you're off to college. When you don't get to see your family everyday, you actually grow closer to them. Yes, your parents actually become your friends. They don't have much control over you while you're away at school, so they become a lot more like your friends than your parents (until you come home from break).
