College can be pretty brutal sometimes. We can all relate to the hours and hours of mind numbing homework that causes us to get all of .2 hours of sleep each night, the professors who drive us crazy, and the times you can not help but think "maybe working at McDonald's for the rest of my life wouldn't be so bad after all." Times like these are times that we need support. We need our people. We need friends.
1. They let you know when your outfit is not quite up to par.
The last thing you need as a freshman girl is to have a fashion mishap happen for all of campus to see. It's good to know that your girls always have your back when it comes to your outfit.
2. They make you do your homework because you're a terrible procrastinator.
They know how badly you want to quit but they also know how much you want to succeed. They push you through those 12am papers and last minute cram sessions because they know your dreams and they want you to see you accomplish them.
3. You are never alone no matter how hard you try.

As much as I loved my alone time in high school, I could not imagine spending any time alone now. Every time I come back from class, work, the dining hall, or pretty much anywhere, I can always count on there being at least two people in my room who DON'T actually live there.
4. They do crazy things with you like canoe 20 miles in the pouring rain.

"Go canoeing with us," she said, "It will be fun," she said. That is something I will never do ever again, but I would not have wanted to go through it with anyone else.
5. They make you laugh until you cry (or snort).
I love being with these girls because not only are they hilarious, but they actually think that I am hilarious, too, and that's what really matters here. My jokes just simply can not go to waste.
6. They will let you know if the boy you're interested in is a no or a go.
Your close friends at college pick up the job of your gals back home and will not let you even think about dating someone they do not 100% don't approve of. Enough said.
7. They love you for who you are.
Bottom line, college wouldn't be the same, or quite as enjoyable, without these girls by my side. I love each and every laugh, meal, movie night, cram session, and mental breakdown, and even the occasional run around campus. I love you guys and thank you for being my people.
