Unexpected Friendships Are the Best Ones

Friendship Isn't About Who You Have Known The Longest, It's About Who Came and Never Left

Unexpected Friendships Are the Best Ones
Nicole McDonald

Everyone is always so worried about meeting friends at college. I met these two people I call a couple of my best friends this year; don’t get me wrong I had other best friends throughout my three in a half years, but when they moved I was so nervous. I wouldn’t make other friends and lone and behold this year.

I was sitting in one of my friends dorm room when one of these girls, who seemed a little weird at first( sorry friend), but once I got to know this girl we soon clicked. We instantly became best friends. I started doing everything with this girl, from going to lunch and dinner to going to church together on Sundays.

I also met this other girl towards the end of last year through a mutual friend; we both were pretty shy at first. We started hanging out a lot more when school started this year. Neither one of us really had anyone to eat with so we started going to the cafeteria together. We soon started doing everything together from going to the game room on campus, going to church together with all of our other friends who went to the same church as well, and just hanging out together.

If it wasn't for meeting these two girls this year would definitely have not been as good as it has been. Don’t get me wrong I most definetly have other friends that I hang out with as well. I watch football with a group of friends at our friends apartment after church and if we aren’t watching it there we’re watching it at the dorms in either the lobby or in our friends dorm room. This group of friends is the group of friends who everyone wants, the group of friends who knows when you’re upset, mad, annoyed or whatever you might be going through and is still there for you and knows just how to cheer you up and put a smile on your face and even though we sometimes fight. I am so thankful for this group of lovely people who came into my life this year; I’d definitely be so lost without them. I know for a fact that no matter what happens in life I’ll always have this awesome group of friends.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
