5 Reasons Why Our Friends Are So Essential To Our Lives

Everyone has their own little pack of loyal friends that they belong to and constantly text, snapchat, and hang out with. Without our little support group of our best gals, we would quite possibly go insane. Here's some things that I'm sure you and your pack of friends will relate to:

1.) The Group Message

If you ever want to discover a girls deepest and darkest secrets, simply, find some way to get into her group message with her closest friends. Once inside the group message, you are discovering a whole new world of drama, gossip, fashion advice, screenshots and much much more. The group message is where the most happens because most of the time, we can't wait till the next day to tell our friends about our latest boy craze.

2.) Fashion Sense

If you're ever in a predicament about what you should wear the next day, just snap your gals a picture of your contending outfits. Trust me, it works miracles getting someone else's opinion. But make sure you're getting the opinion of someone who's going to be real with you about whether or not they like your shoes with that dress.

3.) Calling Each Other During A Crisis

Yes, we've all been here before. Whether you were the caller or the receiver, you still understand how essential this is to a friendship. It's good to have friends that will wake up when you know you call at 2am with your latest mistake. Although, the real friends are the ones that will call you when they know you're having a tough time with a situation. Those are the keepers.

4.) Knowing Each Other's Favorite Foods and Drinks

There's always that one person in the squad who comes through with the morning coffees or after school Sonic runs without you even asking. It gets even better when they don't expect anything in return. I hope, for your sake, that there is a person like this in your group because they are God's gift to you and also because who doesn't love some coffee after an all nighter of studying?

5.)Being There For Each Other

Being there for each other is probably the biggest one of them all. If you don't support and help out your girls in their time of need, then you need to step up your game, sister. Don't be the person who is constantly asking for advice on your issues but not helping the others out during their times of need. Being there and lifting each other up is a big factor in a strong group and a strong friendship.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
