Thank You For Being A Friend

I truly am surrounded by some of the most amazing individuals.

Sep 19, 2016

College isn’t the easiest thing in the world. Don’t get me wrong, I love college. I love the atmosphere, I love the freedom, and I love my campus and the opportunities that it offers. However, there are some nights when I’ve stayed up until 2 a.m. studying for a test that I am not the biggest fan of college. There are days when I want to sleep an extra seven hours instead of going to class.

College isn’t the easiest thing in the world; I have to say that I have the greatest support system to help get me through.

I love my friends, probably more than they could ever realize. I love that feeling when you’ve laughed so hard that you feel as though you don’t need to go to the gym for the day. I love the feeling of riding in complete silence but knowing that the people in your car are there even for the silent car rides. I love walking out of a test and finding arms open for me to cry in or celebrate with.

Whether they are fourteen hours away or two miles down the road, the people who I have surrounded myself with are a constant guidance for me in all that I do. However, I don’t think that I’ve said thank you enough. So, for all of those who deal with me when I want chocolate milk at 10 p.m. or Mexican food at 2 a.m., this is for you.

Thank you for listening.

I talk, a lot. Anyone who knows me knows that talking is my favorite thing to do. My friends have an uncanny ability to listen to everything that I say, even when I’m not saying it, and I am so thankful for that.

Thank you for always letting me drive.

Even though my driving may terrify you, thank you for trusting me with your life and letting me get behind the wheel and drive you to Macon, to Cookout, and to anywhere I want when I just need to drive and get away from things for a little while.

Thank you for telling me what I need to hear, even when I don’t want to hear it.

It takes an incredibly strong, courageous person to look into someone’s eyes and tell them what they don’t necessarily want to hear. I am so thankful that I have surrounded myself with people who are honest with me, even when honesty isn’t what I want to accept or believe.

Thank you for loving me.

Even when I don’t want to be alone. Even when I just want to watch Nicholas Sparks movies and eat ice cream. Even when I scare you away because I’m so upset. Thank you for continuing to love me through my ups, my downs, and the in-betweens. You truly are the most amazing individuals solely for that; I could never thank you enough.

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.
