They say high school is for finding your bridesmaids and college is for finding your husband. Well I just think both are for finding your best friends in life. I think school is about making lasting relationships and connections. And I’m not talking about networking for a future job. I’m talking about friendships. I’m talking about finding those friends that you can go to for anything. And I mean anything and everything. They make you smile, let you vent, will sit and be sad with you, or will be as ridiculous as you can possibly imagine. Those friends to cry with, complain with, and laugh with.
I’ve only been at college for one semester but I already know I’ve made friends who I can do all of these things with. Now that these people are in my life, I just can’t imagine my life without them.
Some days you just need to take a second, sit back, and think over things. Think about the people you’ve met and become friends with. You look around and see everything that makes life amazing. You sit, close your eyes, breathe it all in, and take a mental picture because you want to remember life as it is in that exact moment. And then you just thank God, or whoever or whatever you believe in, for all the blessings in your life. Because, even when things are rough, you know that things will get better with time.
Today, I sit and think about my friends and it makes me happy. Anyone reading this: take some time out of your own day and think about the people in your life. Think about everyone who makes your life better and then tell them. Tell them how much they mean to you because life is short, and you never know which day will be your last…or theirs.
