friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
He Saved My Life and Ruined It at the Same Time
I only talked to Andrew once. My English teacher split the class into groups of four and told us to discuss a chapter from Frankenstein. Andrew spoke last; it was the first time I had ever seen him do anything in class other than sleep on his desk. His voice was low, and his words were mushed together so that I had to concentrate hard to pick apart the words. Amanda and Greg, the other two in our group, gave up after a while, but I continued to listen.

Girls' Night In
You call it "girls' night in," I call it free therapy! The few days out of our lives where us gals just kick it back with PJ's on and all the care in the world of how we look out the door. A night where picking the right outfit, putting on those high heels you've been eyeing for a while, and finishing off the look with that sexy red lipstick becomes completely irrelevant. Nights like these are for when one of your girl says, "I got some tea to spill!" earlier in the day, and so now the priority becomes looking forward to that time where you and your girls get together to spill some tea, while literally sipping on some, or, as most might prefer, while sippin' on a glass of wine.

Change of View
Some pretty amazing things have been happening to me in the last few months. I don't think these things would be happening though if I didn't start changing my perspective. The older I get, the more I start to see the world differently. I changed the way I look at creativity and inspiration, my views on friendships, relationships, and just being a human being in general.

A Big Struggle
So last year I started uni. And yeah, t'was a laugh and a half. Got drunk, met new people, did lots of work, got good grades and had fun. That's what we are told uni is like and yeah, it is. It really is. But I was never told how much of a struggle it was going to be. I lost friends, felt disconnected from my family and feel like an outsider during all my holiday time at home.

The Chosen One
I have been told I am one of the chosen people. I question if they mean chosen for persecution and jokes about being cheap. According to a group of born again Christians I met in high school, I was chosen for a more positive endeavor. If I took Jesus as my savior, my destiny would be fulfilled and I could enter into a holy covenant with God. I was skeptical but figured, I should learn more about it. What the hell, right? I mean, why not?

After an Unexpected Loss
As everyone does, I went to school and made loads of friends, from kindergarten on we enjoy each other's company just playing laughing and not having a care in the world. Obviously we're all far too young and stupid to realize these "close friends" will be around after college. We lose some friends from just growing apart, fights over the stupidest things (money, relationships, theft), some friends are lost to addiction. However some friends do endure all trials and hard times.
