My Best Friends Taught Me That Quality Of People Is Better Than Quantity

Srihitha

Whenever I go to hangout with my friends, I always face the question, "Do you always hang out with these people? Do you not have any other friends?" In all honesty, I don't have any other friends that I can completely trust my entire life with than my 4 best friends. But, to me, that's better than having 10 friends.

The number of friends doesn't matter because what matters is who is going to be there for you when you need them most. If you're throwing a party, all 10 of your friends might show up. But, who's going to come when you need help and you're struggling with something? It's the people who are closest to you.

My best friends have been with me through thick and thin and have never failed to cheer me up when I need it most. They taught me that there's no need for me to have 20 friends when I can have four trustworthy and loyal people by my side who will always be there for me. True friends accept you for you and it's better to have a couple of true friends than a lot of "fake" friends. These are the people who know literally everything about you and genuinely care about you.

My best friends, although there aren't 10 of them, have proved that quality is better than quantity by being there to listen to my rants wholeheartedly and always giving me the best advice. They will always run to my side no matter what situation I am in. Fake friends will always come by and leave but only the true will stay. In this case, four is truly a greater value than 10.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
