Sorry boys, I'm taken.

Why My Best Friends Are Actually My Soulmates
Alise Jonville

There comes a day in all of our lives where we realize who our true friends are. It may be in high school or college, but regardless of where you met them, they are your people. This group of friends knows you like the back of their hand, and is your rock through thick and thin. These are your soulmates, I promise.

As a child, I moved from school to school. This gave me the blessing of being able to meet so many extraordinary people. I have had many best friends throughout my life, and having the time of my life with them without even realizing it! Though getting to college, I am realizing that the friends I have made here, are actually my soulmates.

I feel like we are all on the search for a significant other and love, when we should realize what is right in front of us. In high school, I was in a committed relationship for a long time. I thought that I had found a soulmate even, but soon realized that even though boys say they will always be there, they (probably) won't. And yes that is sad, but it is the truth. Friends are there with you through everything, and will support you no matter what. I figure that when you search for love, it won't come easily, and when you don't search, you find just what you need.

This year, I have gotten so close with all of my best friends. We have all been there for each other through everything -- boys, stress, drama, and school. We have seen each other in our peak and at our lows and still continue to love one another. The most fun part of being with your friends is just being your crazy, weird (kind of psycho) self, and knowing that they would never dare judge you. I know I can say the weirdest, riskiest things around them, and we will all just laugh hysterically. This is the kind of thing that people go searching for in life, but soon realize that they've had it all along.

During this semester, all of us have either had a boyfriend, "thing" with someone, or been single. Even though all of those things are fun to be in, being single with your girls is the happiest time of your life. You don't have to worry or stress about boys being, well -- boys, and you just have each other to comfort, support and be super weird with each other. My friend group is so much happier and fun when we all just spend time with each other. We all understand and help each other in ways that I can't even understand myself. My friends are my soulmates in life and, frankly, boys are just around for fun.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
