New Friends

Something that I have had to overcome recently is making new friends.  This may seem easy for some people, but for me it is much harder because I have not had to make friends in very long.  For six years I have had the three best friends that I could ever ask for.  We all live in the same neighborhood and it is amazing to me how four of us could all end up in the same neighborhood.  Yes I do have other friends, but in high school I would only hang out with my best friends.  This year I had to make new friends now because none of my best friends are at this school.  I can tell you that I have not made a lot of friends, but I could also tell you that the amount I have made is not nearly the total I will meet this year and future years.  I have learned that I can’t just have a couple friends and that I need to have a wide range of friends so that when it may not work out with some of them I still have other people who would love to hang out with me.  I can tell you now that I will definitely be friends with my best friends forever and they will never be anywhere without me in there mind.  I plan on making friends with a lot more people here at Southern and I cannot wait to meet these people.  This is going to be a great year and maybe I can meet someone who will be one of my new best friends.
