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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
