Friendship

Friendship is often thought of a bond between two people who may share similar interests, or get along very well. Friends can also be a huge support system when you don’t want to turn to anyone else. Since I’ve been growing I’ve lost friends, gained some, and still have friendships from my childhood. I think it’s so amazing to see how I still have friendships from elementary school and church, even though we all go to different colleges and have different career paths. Some of my friends that I’ve been friends with since diapers because our parents are friends. I think if our parents weren’t friends we may not have made that friendship last. I know from being unsure how long that friendship may have lasted without the guidance of our parents, we may not be friends if it wasn’t for them. Some of my closest friends are from my childhood. Some of my other closest friends are from college. I think it’s interesting to relate the two together. I became friends with three girls in elementary school because of church and our parents being friends. Even though we are at 4 different universities studying four different majors, we all come home and talk like nothing has changed. Looking at my college relationships can be quite similar. Childhood I grew up and went through a lot of changes. College is the same way as childhood except you’re not 5, you’re 18 and on your own now. Some of my closest friends from college were from my freshman or sophomore year when I was still growing into who I will be in the future. I’m excited to see how I’ll grow over the next 20 years and who I’ll become close friends with based off of my career and future plans!
