A Small Glimpse of How I See my Friends

How I Perceive My Friends:

My group of friends contains five individuals (counting myself) and there has never been a day that I wanted to ditch them anyone else or another group of individuals. Some people may not like my friends, but to me they are everything. They are the individuals who say with you while you cry and will make you forget about all the bad in your life. They are the individuals who will pick you up when you’re weak, and will stand with you in any decision I make. These are the individuals that mean the world to me, and they make walking around in this life an adventure full of memories to be made.

Ashlyn

When I think of Ashlyn, I think of all the crazy adventures we have had, and I think about the first time we met as roommate’s freshman year. I am constantly grateful that my freshman roommate is still my roommate, and that we have developed this friendship that has become more of a sisterhood. I see Ashlyn as the complete package of what a friend should be--she is hilarious, intelligent and can accomplish anything she has ever dreamed of doing. In ten years I will look back and say that was my college roommate and my best friend 'til the day I die.

Rosanna

When I think about Rosie, I think of how are friendship really begun and how far we have come in the year that we have known each other. There is nothing off-limits when talking to Rosie. She puts everything she has in her friends, family and faith. I am constantly proud of her, and I know she will be an amazing doctor. In the year that Rosie and I have been friends, we have shared the majority of our time laughing and looking at the good of every situation. I know that when I am old and sick she will be there continuing to make me laugh, and supporting me in any decisions I had made in my youth.

Laura

As I think of Laura, I think of her undying strength and i often hope that some of it will rub off on me. Laura is one of the strongest people that I have ever met, and faces everyday with the support of; her faith and friends. Laura is the individual who I go to when I think of a problem and need some advice on how I should deal with it. She is also the individual I go to when I just want to talk about anything. She has always made time to listen and support me in any decision I have made. I know that in a time of need, Laura would be there without any questions, and I would be grateful that I met an individual so compassionate and strong willed as she is.

Meenah


Meenah is my newest friend and is also one of my littles. She came into are friendship this year as our flat mate. Meenah is the one that would do anything for her friends. She decides all of her time and effort into making us happy and filling the flat with laughter. Meenah is the perfect fit into a small group of friends. We were nervous upon her arrival because we really didn’t know her, but we are thankful she came into our lives. I am so proud to be able to call Meenah my little, and I am excited to see our friendship grow over the course of our lives.

These are the individuals that make my cloudy day bright again, and I hope to continue to make their lives as bright as they make mine.

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?
