Finding Friends
October 26th, 2007
One of the best parts of college so far is the friends and relationships I have made. The first few weeks, you meet so many people that it’s hard to remember everyone’s name, but after being here a few months, I am incredibly grateful for the friendships I have. I have made a variety of friends.
The amount of students is perfect; there aren’t so many students that it is overwhelming, but it’s not such a small number of students that you know everything about everyone. It’s amazing what you can find!
- I have a friend who almost always challenges all of my Mennonite beliefs and makes me really think about why I believe what I believe.
- I have friends who are really involved in drama and theatre and music. It is a great idea to make friends with drama kids- it’s always a good time with them.
- I have friends who have become like family.
- I have a friend who comes into my room at least once a day just to ask how my day is going.
- I have super athletic friends who play every intramural sport and are extremely competitive.
- I have friends that go get piercings when they’re bored.
- I have friends in the admissions office who let me talk to them while I should be working.
- I have a friend who I meet at Common Grounds coffee shop every Thursday night for coffee, a bagel, and a good time.
- I have a friend who can beat me left-handed at ping pong, but he still plays with me.
- I have a friend who would do anything for me, even if it involves hosting a student at the last minute or folding my laundry.
I’m so excited about the friends I’ve made and I’m sure I will continue to make over the next few years. It is definitely a highlight of college!
