An Unexpected Friend

As I started my sophomore year at MWSU I was an RA and in a whole new adventure. I was excited to start this new adventure and to see where it was going to take me. To be an RA we had to do like 15 programs each semester, as well as take a test on our residents (we had to know their names and room #), we also had to make door decorations and bulletin boards for our floors we were assigned to. Lastly you had to be on duty with a duty phone for so many days each semester. Being an RA required a lot of work. You had to have great time management and you needed to be able to be hype all of the time. In my

first semester as an RA I realized quickly how much time it required of someone. We had to be able to be in like 15 different places doing 30 different things at once is what it felt like. My friends

and I really enjoyed our jobs and being around each other. But what made the job that much more fun was the one person who became my best friend. When I first met Jill it was during summer RA training. I remember thinking she was someone who was going to be a funny person to work with, little did I know she would turn into someone who I would depend on for so many things. Over the course of me being an RA, Jill became

s0meone that every time we were with each other we were laughing and having a good time, she literally became my other half. I was always spending time with her if I could. As I moved into my junior and senior years at college Jill became that much more. She became my best friend. Jill became my person at school to always turn to if I needed to talk

to someone about literally anything. We connected because we were both nursing majors, but when I changed majors she was still there for me in a whole new way. I'm pretty sure after 3 years of friendship she knows me more than I know myself by now. From random trips home on weekends to studying for finals together, to going to my first professional baseball game, to spending a weekend on the lake together. I wouldn't want to make all these memories with anyone else. After Jill graduated in the fall it was clear to me that I literally lost my other half. She was always just a floor away from me or a few minute walk away, but now that she is graduated and out in the real world is

different. We have to work around work schedules and my class schedule to try to see each other. It's been weeks since I last saw her and its really hard to not text her and be like you need to come up here so I can vent to you. Somethings I get this feeling to text her and be like tell your mom I'm coming over for the night cause I need my best friend. But in the end we will always be there for each other. No matter where this crazy thing called life takes either one of us we will be there for each other. I'm forever thankful that Jill came into my life and stayed because she has made it so much better. I have really began to live a full life full of fun adventures and good times. Weather it's just chilling drinking some wine or going out to eat, we always know how to have fun with each other.
