Being a student is such an important time. It's when you grow, you discover who you are and who you want to be. It's when you get the chance to make friendships that will last forever.
Friends are so important in your life. They are the people you turn to when something exciting happens, when something sad happens, when you need some advice or you just want to have fun - that is what friends are for.
I have a question for you - how are you doing with your friendships? During the crazy period of essays and deadlines, are you checking up on your friends? Are you seeing how they're doing? Are you carving time out to spend time with them and just have fun with them?
It is so important to invest in your friends. Check up on them, show up at their door with their favourite snacks. Show them that you care. That's the kind of friend that I want to be. The kind that my friends would call up at 2am if they just needed to talk. I want to have friendships that will last forever - that is the way to do it.
As they say, laughter is the best medicine, I laugh the most when I'm with my friends and during this crazy season, the best way to forget about the stress, is to see your friends.
