Unexpected Friendships Are the Best Ones

Friendship Isn't About Who You Have Known The Longest, It's About Who Came and Never Left

Unexpected Friendships Are the Best Ones
Nicole McDonald

Everyone is always so worried about meeting friends at college. I met these two people I call a couple of my best friends this year; don’t get me wrong I had other best friends throughout my three in a half years, but when they moved I was so nervous. I wouldn’t make other friends and lone and behold this year.

I was sitting in one of my friends dorm room when one of these girls, who seemed a little weird at first( sorry friend), but once I got to know this girl we soon clicked. We instantly became best friends. I started doing everything with this girl, from going to lunch and dinner to going to church together on Sundays.

I also met this other girl towards the end of last year through a mutual friend; we both were pretty shy at first. We started hanging out a lot more when school started this year. Neither one of us really had anyone to eat with so we started going to the cafeteria together. We soon started doing everything together from going to the game room on campus, going to church together with all of our other friends who went to the same church as well, and just hanging out together.

If it wasn't for meeting these two girls this year would definitely have not been as good as it has been. Don’t get me wrong I most definetly have other friends that I hang out with as well. I watch football with a group of friends at our friends apartment after church and if we aren’t watching it there we’re watching it at the dorms in either the lobby or in our friends dorm room. This group of friends is the group of friends who everyone wants, the group of friends who knows when you’re upset, mad, annoyed or whatever you might be going through and is still there for you and knows just how to cheer you up and put a smile on your face and even though we sometimes fight. I am so thankful for this group of lovely people who came into my life this year; I’d definitely be so lost without them. I know for a fact that no matter what happens in life I’ll always have this awesome group of friends.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
