I really should be studying for the ridiculous amount of exams I have next week (thank you midterms), but this blog needs updated and I've got something to say...fo realllzz.
So this whole growing up thing can be really lame sometimes, but as I go I have realized that the massive amount of change that comes with becoming an adult can be ridiculously refreshing.
There is so much emphasis when we're young on being well-liked and having oodles and oodles of pals, but I have come to the realization that you can have all the friends in the world and still not have a single person that you can bare your soul to and be completely vulnerable.
God (I could say that I found these people on my own but I'd be lying) has placed people in my life who have made this struggle known as college completely worth it. I'm talking friends who grow with me. Each year we change and in a way become different people, but the one thing that is constant is that we're growing together. I do not need a million friends, I need those few who are struggling and changing right there next to me.
I watched two of my best friends run a half-marathon today and it was such a moment of pride for me. I saw two super dedicated women who were pushing each other and encouraging each other even when they wanted to vomit and their muscles could not handle much more stretching. Those are the kind of friends that matter...those are the friendships that will last. Don't fritter your time away on shallow friendships...find those people who are going to bring out the best in you and challenge you to be the best you can be...I dare you.
Brucie.
