An Open Letter To My College "Framily"

You could say that we are all friends, but you wouldn't be scratching the surface.

An Open Letter To My College "Framily"
tv guide

To my college framily,

With so many memories, I only could dream of where to begin. You are the ones who continuously pick me up when I am feeling down, share countless amounts of laughter, and more experiences than I could imagine possible.

I remember the first time we met. I was walking into my first class of the new semester, not really knowing too many people around me. I look for the first open seat that I can find, and quietly await the start of class, unaware of anyone around me. Towards the end of the class, filled mainly with silence and short banter here and there, you guys grab my attention. We being our friendship with a few witty remarks, and couple giggles here and there, then go about our days as usual. What began with basic conversations slowly progressed to other shared classes, a few lunch breaks, and suddenly we are spilling all of our secrets and laughing uncontrollably about who knows what anymore.

But when did it go from just a common friendship to a full blown college framily? I can recall a time when we were all sitting together and the time turns from fun to sour instantly. I can't exactly remember what occurred, but what I can tell you about are the first people to rush to my rescue when I felt as though everything was crashing down. As my college framily, you all are there regardless of the time of day or the hectic schedules that overcome you. When I began my college career, I was just a loud mouth girl from the middle of nowhere Indiana, with no idea what was about to happen with these next four years. Meeting you and creating this bond is unlike any experience I have encountered until now. As a framily we are there for each other, regardless of the situation. You all love me for my true, unapologetic self, and I feel for you just the same. You all mean more to me than any friendship has, and knowing that the bond of our college framily is so strong is what has made these years so pivotal to me. Even long after college is over, you all will forever remain in my heart, as well as in my life I hope.


Love you to the moon and back,

Your Forever Framily Member

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
