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.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
