Over time, things change.

Yes, there are many times throughout your life where you are going to be at an all-time high and then at an all-time low. The most important thing in those low moments is what you are going to do to make yourself a better person.

I can tell you that throughout the nineteen years of my life I have had some great highs and lows.

For those of you that don't know, I went off to college last year and that is when I started to really notice the good and not so good moments of my life.

College is a time where you get to be with new people and live on your own while obtaining an education. It is a time where you truly find yourself. You are becoming the person that you are meant to be. In college, you learn what it is like to be independent as well as being able to lean in friends and family.

It is also a time where you are also able to figure out what you want to be when you are older. It is a time where new friendships develop; sometimes friendships fall apart. However, these are the times where you really get to develop your character. College is the time where you meet your lifelong friends that will stand belong side you no matter what.

They are the ones that you can call crying at 2 a.m. over some stupid boy, or call them just to say hi and they will always answer the phone. These are the friends that know you inside and out especially when they know something is wrong. True friends know everything, good friends know some things.

I think that at these times in my life it is important to remember my religion and that my friends and family and above all God is guiding me to be the best person that I can be. When I was younger I was involved in my church a lot. It helped me shape me into the person that I am today. It helped me look at the way I live my life and how most people should be forgiving of others that have hurt them. A prime example would be friendships because over time people change for the better.

The other day my friend and I started talking about our religion and how we grew away for a little but have come back. We started just by saying all the negative things that were happening and then discussing the positive ones. It led us to talk about how we wish during the harder times we were closer to our faith because now during those hard times, we have our faith to help and guide us.

As I am sitting here writing this I just want people to know that yes there are going to be good times and bad times. It is important to remember that in those bad times as well as the good there are people there to help you. Your friends and family are your greatest support!
