Why My Best Friends Are My Rocks

Sometimes all you need in life is a best friend to get you through the tough times.

Why My Best Friends Are My Rocks
Aleksia Gray

Best friends are the people that are there for you when you feel like no one else is. They teach you lessons, give you advice whether it's about clothes or dating or even just on school work, they will always be there for you. Best friends will teach you so much about yourself than you would have ever imagined and the best part is that they are your friends so they will be around for a while.

Even with going away to college my best friends and I have managed to keep in touch and are closer than we ever were before. It's almost like the distance between us just ended up strengthening our friendships with one another. We have managed to keep in contact with each other and what is going on in everyone's life at the moment through group messages. Although sometimes the best friend group message gets out of hand you still would not trade it for anything. All of my friends go to different schools in different areas and we only see each other on holiday breaks. But, that doesn't stop us from having fun and talking to each other in the meantime.

Without a good group of friends this world would be a very lonely and cold place. My biggest fear when leaving for college was how am I supposed to make new friends or how do I even make friends. Up until now I have just stuck with the same group of friends that I made because my parents were friends with their parents and now that is not the case I had to make friends on my own. If there was not an open seat next to me in my freshman year English class than I do not think that I would have met my best friend that I made up at school. Because of this happening, I feel that everything does happen for a reason. This person has become so close to me that I consider her my best friend and has helped me through so much at school that my friends back at home just could not do. Either way, I am thankful for my friends.

There are many things that I feel I need to thank my best friends for because without them I would not be where I am at today. My best friends have been there for me through some of the hardest times of my life. Because of this, it has caused our friendships to become even closer. I know that I can trust my friends with everything in my life and even with advice that I need. Without these people in my life that I am able to call my best friends I would be lost. To quote Greys Anatomy my best friends are my person. They are there for me through all of the ups and downs of life and I cannot thank them enough for that.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
