Why My Best Friends Are My Rocks

Sometimes all you need in life is a best friend to get you through the tough times.

Why My Best Friends Are My Rocks
Aleksia Gray

Best friends are the people that are there for you when you feel like no one else is. They teach you lessons, give you advice whether it's about clothes or dating or even just on school work, they will always be there for you. Best friends will teach you so much about yourself than you would have ever imagined and the best part is that they are your friends so they will be around for a while.

Even with going away to college my best friends and I have managed to keep in touch and are closer than we ever were before. It's almost like the distance between us just ended up strengthening our friendships with one another. We have managed to keep in contact with each other and what is going on in everyone's life at the moment through group messages. Although sometimes the best friend group message gets out of hand you still would not trade it for anything. All of my friends go to different schools in different areas and we only see each other on holiday breaks. But, that doesn't stop us from having fun and talking to each other in the meantime.

Without a good group of friends this world would be a very lonely and cold place. My biggest fear when leaving for college was how am I supposed to make new friends or how do I even make friends. Up until now I have just stuck with the same group of friends that I made because my parents were friends with their parents and now that is not the case I had to make friends on my own. If there was not an open seat next to me in my freshman year English class than I do not think that I would have met my best friend that I made up at school. Because of this happening, I feel that everything does happen for a reason. This person has become so close to me that I consider her my best friend and has helped me through so much at school that my friends back at home just could not do. Either way, I am thankful for my friends.

There are many things that I feel I need to thank my best friends for because without them I would not be where I am at today. My best friends have been there for me through some of the hardest times of my life. Because of this, it has caused our friendships to become even closer. I know that I can trust my friends with everything in my life and even with advice that I need. Without these people in my life that I am able to call my best friends I would be lost. To quote Greys Anatomy my best friends are my person. They are there for me through all of the ups and downs of life and I cannot thank them enough for that.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
