Your College Friends Are Your Best Friends

Why making friends in college is so important.

Freshman year of college comes up a lot quicker than you think. This means change in everything: being away from home, not having to go to the same classes everyday, more responsibilities, and even meeting new people. What's the scary part in that sentence? Meeting new people.

It's kind of a terrifying thing. Putting yourself out there. Being vulnerable to letting new people in. But it's necessary to be social and to get out there if you want to make lifelong friends.

I'm almost three months into my freshman year of college, and I absolutely love it. College is great all on its own, but what makes it 10x better is the friends I've made coming into my freshman year.

My friends are absolutely amazing. I see them almost, if not, everyday. I have to admit, it's hard being away from home and not having all of my best friends here with me to support me through my best and worst times. But that's what my college friends are here for. College is a huge transition, especially for me because I'm so close to my parents and friends back home. However, here at GCSU, my friends that I've made so far have filled the loneliness I used to feel at the beginning of the year.

I can honestly say I have the greatest friends here. My roommates are amazing. And I say my roommates in a "friend" topic because they're some of my closest friends here, too. (yay froomies)!! They're there for me for absolutely anything and I would do anything for them.

I've found a group of friends I hang with almost everyday, too. It's amazing at the easiness of shooting on text message and an hour later we're all grabbing lunch together. We all talk about everything. We're so open with each other because we trust each other.

And honestly, some of the best friends that I have here as well are the people in my ministry I attend. (shoutout to FAM!!!!). These people are so amazing with the love and support they show. They go out of there way to make sure you're just having a good day and always wanting to meet up just to hang out. I've been so grateful to have fellow Jesus-lovers to walk through this new journey with me.

I'm honestly blessed by all the love I've been given and have given to my new friends around me. And to be honest, this is kind of a bragging article, but the people in my life at college truly deserve the recognition. You guys know you are!

The importance (or rather what I'm trying to get to) here is to just find your community. College is all about finding yourself and finding others to do life with. I'm so so so so thankful that I've found mine. I love you guys to death.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
