An Open Letter To The First Girl I Met In College

Dear Lo,

I was so scared that I would never make any friends in college. I was so scared that I was going to hate my dorm and never be able to live in it. I was so scared I was going to eat alone every day in the cafeteria. I was so scared that I was going to gain fifty pounds during the school year because I would never have motivation to go to the gym or be able to find any gym buddies. I was so scared I was never going to get invited to parties. But, thank you for being the person that made sure that I was always alright, no matter what the circumstance.

Thank you for being such a great friend. You always know how to make me laugh with your hilarious Snapchats and obnoxious laugh, thank you.

Thank you for teaching me the best way to decorate my dorm. I now know the most perfect way to hang up my letters and decorate it perfectly!

Thank you for teaching me that it's okay to eat alone. Most college students believe that everyone is either on a break from my class or they are waiting for their friends, so it's perfectly normal to eat alone.

Thank you for being my own personal trainer and helping me keep in shape. I will never forget the time I was on the verge of crying because of how hard circuit training is with you.

And thank you for helping me rush. I was nervous about not being invited to parties, but being in a fraternity has helped not only my self-esteem, but has also helped me make the best friends, no matter what the situation.

Thank you, Lo, for being the best friend that I have had in college. I can't wait to see all the great memories we make soon.

XOXO,
BFF

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
