Why I'm Thankful for My Long Term Friends

You know those best friends who are there no matter what? It doesn't matter how long it's been since I've talked to them, or seen them, whenever we do finally meet up it's like we were just hanging out yesterday. These are those gems of friends who you need to hold on to and I am very thankful to have quite a few!

These friends are amazing because they may not live in your same city, but they know every detail about your life still. Honestly they might remember more about your life than you do at points! You could be retelling them a story on your 3 hour long phone call and they recall the shoes you had on in your story just from your Instagram. They're amazing.

These friends also somehow integrate with all of your new friends seamlessly. You two get along so why wouldn't they? They are never jealous of your new friends, they're happy to see their social butterfly of a friend making it out there in the world.

Speaking of making it out there in the world.. these are those big obnoxious sappy post makers whenever your birthday roles around or you get a job promotion. They're your biggest supporters! Maybe it's because they've known you so long and have seen your triumphs and tribulations to get to this point. Regardless, you do the same because the world needs to know how amazing your bestie is.

Most of the world does though, especially your family. These are the friends who used to come into your house Kimmy Gibbler style and can hang out with your family even when you aren't there. Your family treats them like their own, and your friend might actually call your mom, mom too. Weird but true.

These are the friends who when you are together and out, when you get food and they forgot their wallet you don't ask them to venmo you because you've lost all track of deals. You probably both are around even between the middle school line for ice cream or the matching halloween outfits.

Speaking of looking the same, sometimes, not all the time you end up looking the same even far apart. You both have the same taste in clothes, makeup, etc. Twinning, in a weird way. Once my best friends boyfriend thought his girlfriend has posted a picture with another guy but it was actually my post with me and and a plus one. Freaky!

What are the chances? Right?

Anyways, I know the chances of me staying friends with these amazing people. 100000% will be hanging out when we're 80 years old going through taco bell.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
