When Your Only Friends Are Away For College

Bianca Brangers

One of the biggest, and actually the only problem I have found with staying at a community college is the only friends I have are gone away on their own paths of life, and don't really have time to catch up with me anymore.

Having one friend in a college marching band, and the other in a college ROTC program is more than enough to make one feel lonely. But, I can't get mad, they're both carving their own paths of life, and I'm extremely proud of both of them.

We're all in different places; one is 2 hours away while the other is 1 hour away. Meanwhile, here I am, I go to class, then work, and then I come home, and I can't help but to feel alone without them here to talk to, sure we text each other either once a day, or once a week, but it's life, you make lemonade out of the lemons you're given. You fall off the horse fifteen times, and you get back on sixteen times, and no matter what, you support the ones who support you, no matter the distance, or the time it takes to be reunited again.

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.
