Many say the friendships that last at least six years are the ones that last a lifetime. Well, let's take a look at our college friends. I've been in college almost five years and I can truly say that some of these people are the ones that will always hold a special place in my heart.
You meet freshman year. You're a scared little freshmen on a new college campus and in a completely different environment than what you're used to. You experience your first parties together, your first week of exams and your first real college and real world experiences. You're on your own for the most part, and these are the people who will help you figure out where your life is going.
After freshman year you'll probably end up living together on campus. These are the people who will greet you everyday when you get back from class. They'll encourage you to stop studying and go out, remind you to take care of yourself and eat some dinner and will see you at your best and worst and will not have a care in the world.
Eventually you'll all go in different directions. If you're lucky enough, distance won't matter and you'll still put in your best effort to make time for each other. After all, these are your first friends at college. They've experienced everything with you. They know who you truly are and will do anything for you when you need them.
Unfortunately your college years have to come to an end sooner or later and everyone will be getting jobs and internships. Who knows where each of you will end up. No matter what, these will be the people who will keep in touch. Distance won't matter when you have years of memories together. Although it may not be speaking and talking as often as you once used to, these relationships will last a lifetime. You'll go through life together, and if you're lucky like me, you'll just know that you'll be little old ladies causing trouble together.
