Have you ever met someone and you just clicked? You knew that you would be in each other's lives for a long time, be there for each other and help each other through most things? I feel like that is what college does. College throws you into this group of people and you know that you all are going to be best friends for a very long time.
When I first made friends here at school I was torn between the "me" that was safe or the "me" that was going to actually take the jump and go and do what I wanted. I had the group of people that I felt I would mesh well with or the group that my roommate was going toward...I was torn but I did what I didn't think I would do: I took the leap.
I decided to not take the safe road. I became friends with one of the guys in my dad's old social club here and began getting to know all of them. I made friends with the swimmers and I ended up falling for the blue eyed red headed ΣΑΣ that my dad had introduced me to.
While I'm looking back on this crazy first semester I just realize how amazing it is to find your people. I have some of the greatest friends and my am I thankful for that.
So as finals start and everything begins getting crazy just remember that your friends are still there for you. Don't let your stress push the people closest to you away.
Happy finals!
