Hahaha so from the headline, you now know that my best friend from home is visiting, and I am actually pressed about it.
My friend and I met in 7th grade and have been close ever since. Lol if you ask her she will probably say otherwise since I wasn’t invited to her 13th birthday party. Which is so weird because I def remember that I deserved an invite, but it's open to interpretation. However, regardless I think we both can agree on the fact that year after year we grow closer.
So I don’t know what I am so nervous about her visiting me. One I think I just hope she has a good time and isn’t bored the whole visit. I hope I am able to balance her and my college friends seamlessly.
I hope she likes my college friends, and I hope they like her. It’s just such a weird feeling to have two worlds collide. But, wholeheartedly I just hope she feels comfortable (and that I don't lose her).
However, to put myself at ease (since this turned into more of a therapy sesh for myself), she is bringing an air mattress and gifts for my friend’s birthdays (since she is crashing on their birthday weekend). So it is fine. We are fine. It will be fine. Everything always works out in the end, no matter the severity (or at least I think so).
So that’s my message to you for this week. Just trust and believe everything will be ok no matter the issue. You got it.
Also, life hack: Cardi B’s album is out…. Ur welcome.
Update on the matter: It all worked out actually. My friend meshed with my college friends and life seamlessly. It just attests to the idea that truly sometimes you just need to trust yourself.
I am friends with my friend from back home for a reason and similarly to my college friends, I am friends with them for reason. It was a beautiful thing to see people act as though they have known each other for years. The whole experience was effortless and I honestly wished I spent less time worrying if everyone was having a good time and instead just had fun in the moment.
I think that is truly one of the beauties of college. You split up from your friends from home, which is so sad at first. But then you are introduced to even more people that make your life so much better.
But, even though you have new friends, that doesn't mean you have forgotten the old. In fact, it makes you feel that your “home” friends are that more precious. You are able to not only see their growth as a person but see them thrive without you. Which honestly can be a salty experience initially, but then you realize that you only want the best for them, and if it mean that they hang out with other people when you’re halfway across the country then so be it.
