My First Week Of School Was An Interesting One
Steph Stile

First week and weekend of classes off a summer of life change. I am not an athlete anymore so I have a bunch of free time on my hands that I am not sure what to do with just yet. I still have the same friends I did when school ended...or so I thought. I have a strong church community with an amazing life group to help me with everything.

My first week of classes went very well. To start off can I get a high five for being on time, cause if you know me you know I can stroll in late because I make a pit stop at Starbucks to give me that caffeine boost I "need." I like all my professors which is rare because there has always been one that just shows no interest in their teaching or just doesn't care. You know the one who just shows up and goes through the slides and gives you points just for breathing and being in your seat, yeah those ones.

On the other side of things, I have lost some friends, which is crazy. It is nuts how you can be close with someone and then the next they hardly talk to you. I stopped putting in effort into people where I was not getting it back. It's like just because I am not with someone 24/7 they can't talk to me anymore. I am always the one texting first, or reaching out in some way first but when they see me around campus it's the "Oh my goodness I haven't talked to you in so long," well maybe if you would learn to text or call someone back you would know what is going on in my life.

Life is very interesting and has an interesting way of working itself out. Now don't get me wrong there are still some people in my life that I came into college with that I have friendships with still but the other ones, it is almost as if we never met and I guess that is just what is going to be which sucks sometimes but I picked my head up and move on.

A saying that has always stuck with me is "Either I grow with you or I outgrow you. I'm not standing still for anyone."

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
