To My Best Friend From Third Grade To Senior Year of College

Always with my friend of the same name.

To My Best Friend From Third Grade To Senior Year of College
Samantha Tremblay

It's basically become a party trick to say I met one of my best friends in the third grade. Not only that, but we have the same name. Did I mention we went on to go to the same college?

That's right, one of my first friends in Ohio is someone I've stayed connected with all the way from third grade cheerleading to senior year of college. We've been friends, our dads have coached together, our brothers played football together, and our families are friends. It cool to think just how long we've stuck together.

We've taken different paths at points in our lives. In high school, you kept cheering while I turned to cross country and wrestling stats. In college, you rushed while I found all my student organizations. But no matter how far it looks like we've gone away from each other we're always there when it counts.

We have two very crazy schedules, but we always find time to see each other. There are trips for tacos, movies, and even an almost seven hour excursion to go hiking one day.

The great part about having a friend for this long is that you never have to give background on anything. You know where I came from and the same goes for me. Of course we have our differences, but who doesn't? I accept you and all your Disney love and you accept me even though I've maybe seen a fourth of the Disney movies made.

Whenever we're together it just works. I am so grateful for this friendship we've kept for these thirteen years and I'll be excited to celebrate thirteen more. I don't know where we'll both be next year, but I can tell you even if we're not at the same school you'll still be my first best friend.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
