Friends Like These

They say that college is when you make your lifelong friends. God, I hope they’re right. The friends that I’ve made since I’ve come to the University of Georgia are some of the greatest I’ve ever had.

They’re beautiful, both physically and spiritually. My guys and girls are some of the nicest, most down to earth, hilarious people I know. Every moment I spend with them is one where I feel loved and alive. They make me want to be a better person. These amazing individuals that I’ve come to love and be loved by make my life something to behold. I honestly don’t know what I would do without their support and friendship.

I constantly have little moments where I’m in awe–of their hearts, their spirits, their humor. As people, I could not ask for better listeners, arguers, and confidants. Every day is an adventure, no matter how cliche that sounds, it really is. I never know what I’m going to hear from my friends, but it will most certainly be interesting.

Even though we haven’t known each other for our entire lives, they’ve already stood beside me through some of my toughest moments, and I would immediately do the same for any of them. They’re the light of life, and they play such an important role.

Friends like these don’t come around every day, and I truly believe that they’ve come into my life for a reason. They’re all like angels, teaching me something new every day. They’re teaching me to love, to laugh, and to enjoy living. They’re teaching me to be a real person, and I will never be able to thank them enough for it.
