Earlier last week, my fellow senior friends and I hit our "one month left in college" stage. Last weekend, the boys planned a nice weekend for everyone in Kansas City, where we got to spend some time in Westport, on the Plaza and taking our first brewery tour of the Boulevard factory. This past weekend, everyone was in town and we spent three nights in a row going out together.
Despite the fact that we all live next door to each other, it was a big deal that no one had any other commitments. Reflecting on the time, I realized these two weekends were probably some of the most fun ones I've had in college. But what was different? We've been best friends for four years, what made hanging out with each other more fun than usual?
Last month, I wrote a blog post about
face-timing – and realized that's where things were different. We accomplished the goal of what I discussed in that post; it didn't matter who else we saw out or wanted to meet up with. With no more than six people, we spent time with each other and went to the bars we wanted to, not where we thought people would be. And since we know we won't have this much time to spend with each other in the future, we started to enjoy the upcoming month and I continued to discover how much I love my best friends at Mizzou. I'm definitely prepared for an emotional and eventful next month of fun 'last times' as a student and in Columbia.
