The best friend that you always needed.

If you know, you know

Nov 30, 2019

In my 23 years I’ve learned lots about the typical “fake friend”. You know the ones who are only there when they need something. Ones that always put you down and never support your decisions. The ones who always have something negative to say.

But goodness, please let me tell you about the real ones. The ones you can call crying at 2 am and they sit up just to listen to you talk about the stupid boy they told you to leave alone a long time ago. The ones you can show up at their house with a bag of clothes and half of their bed is yours. The girls who are more than 100% okay with you coming over in pjs at 4pm just to watch Netflix. The ones who are not expecting you to come without your child.

I think we all need friends like this in our lives. It took lots of trail and error to get to this point, but this, this is the point in life where you really find out who your friends are. The point where we are all getting married and having babies and pursuing careers. The ones that stick around, those are the ones you need—forever.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
