Before recent events, I thought I was losing some of the most important friends I have made in my college experience. As seniors in college, we are all very busy and involved in our own schedules, which means there is less time to hang out and goof off like we did our freshman and sophomore years. All of us are apart of school, greek life, jobs, significant others, and other friends. It is not until now that I realize that our friendship is still as strong as it was when we first met.
I want to take the time and thank my friends for being so amazing to me when I have needed them most. These past few weeks, life has giving me a lot of lemons... I could probably make endless pitchers of lemon drops... I mean lemonade. The roof to my apartment leaked in my closet, my closet racks fell down, I got turned down from a job and my long term boyfriend of seven years broke up with me. Honestly, my world felt like it was ending earlier today. I felt like I was fighting for air, my body was numb and everything around me was collapsing, literally... Not knowing what to do with myself, I texted a few of my best friends, who were nothing less than supportive. Before today, I was not sure about some of my friendships because I felt like I had not spent time with my friends. I have lost a few very important friendships in my life and I was devastated to think that these were also fading away. Luckily, this lemon filled week, showed me that I have amazing friends. I have friends that can make me laugh until I cry even when I feel like I am dying inside.
During my sophomore year, Makenzie and I went to a party where a strange guy pushed us in a closet after opening a door... We did not know it then, but that strange guy, Kollen, would become our best friend. We call ourselves 'The Krew'. During our friendship, we have been through so many things together, they basically are my shoulder to lean on when I am feeling down. I couldn't be more thankful to have my two best friends in college. I just had the worst day of 2015, but for the hours I spent with these two at dinner tonight, I never felt happier or more surrounded by love.
My best friend from home called me right after I told her the recent events, even though she was in the middle of sorority recruitment. Not even 5 minutes later was she on the phone telling me she was gonna kick some butt. Her wise words were," get two pints of Ben & Jerry's and two bottles of wine, red and white". Only would Corinne be on the phone with me while carrying her lunch and drink in both hands, bangs in her face, and pressing her phone against her ear with her shoulder so she could talk to me. Corinne has been there since day 1 of my failed relationship, even when I made decisions she didn't like, she always supported me.
So I have learned a lot about friendship today, but most important I learned I have the best friends. I have the most supportive friends, who will drop everything to help me pick up the pieces. I have friends who will make me forget all the bad things in my life. I will forever be thankful for the friendships I have formed in my life.
