FRIENDSHIP

I've learned that your college friends become kind of family, you eat together, you take naps together, fight, laugh, cry, and do absolutely nothing together until you can't remember how you ever lived your life without them in the first place.

    My first semester of college was certainly an experience. And I use the word “experience” in the way that Randy Pausch used it in his famous Last Lecture, where he said that “Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.”

    The first semester of my freshman year of college was a whole bunch of not getting what I wanted. Not getting things that I applied for. Not fitting into the group of people that I wanted to be friends with. Not having any of the guys that I was interested in be interested back.

    I was able to learn from my first semester have a very successful and enjoyable second semester and I’m hoping to keep using my experiences to improve and grow as a student and person.
