Friends

One of the greatest things I'm thankful for in life is to have such amazing friends.

It's been a crazy busy first week of school, filled with classes, meetings, more meetings, retreats, etc., but each small action or event has reminded me how lucky I am to be acquainted with such great people.

Only great friends will make you a card to provide best wishes and inspiration before taking the GRE, with signatures and notes from all of my sorority sisters. And even contact and text you luck so much that I received 15 missed alerts upon leaving the 5 hour exam!

How many friends will drive you to Sonic late at night just because you're craving a limemade, watch you freak out when you realize they closed at 11, and then help tip the employee that snuck you the limemade anyway?

How many people are content enough with letting you borrow their cell phone to call multiple people, just because my phone screen broke then died so I couldn't make any outgoing calls/texts for...15 whole hours!

Only your best friends know you so well when they can look at someone new they meet and tell you she resembles one of your best friends from high school, because they have met and remember that person well enough to compare them to strangers.

Only these friends realize how impatient I am that when I send a mass text to seven people asking who wants to go to the pool, I receive seven responses within five minutes. I can't even help but smile knowing that I didn't even have to wait!

Only good friends go to save seats at the movies so you can come from prior commitments and still get into the show.

Here's to an awesome year of continuing these friendships!
