There are so many amazing things about college. It's new and a fresh start for everyone. You can reinvent yourself and meet new people. You can be independent and feel like a real adult.
However, the worst part of college is not having my best friends from home with me for all the happy and sad times. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my college friends and how after only two and a half months I feel like I have known them for years but it is so different.
My best friends from home have known me through my awkward days and my better days. They have been in my life from sixth grade and on. They have become my family. The worst part of college is not seeing them every day like I have for so many years. They know me better than anyone does and they have seen it all. They know everything about me whether it's good or bad.
When I need a hug or to share good news, I immediately call them. When they need me, I'm no longer a few minutes away but instead hours away. My walls are covered in pictures of them and all the memories we have shared. We just get each other. It comes so naturally since we have known each other for so many years. We laugh at the same jokes, we know each other's taste in food or music or movies and we just know everything there is to know about each other.
I miss my best friends so much and although college is amazing, the worst part is being hundreds of miles away from my favorite people.
