My American Friends

A really cool thing about being in University is that you get to meet a whole bunch of new people and make a shit load of new friends. Now, the cool thing about first year is, it is when you start to develop the grounding for these great friendships. However, being in university doesn't only restrict you to making friends in first year, you'll make them throughout your university career.

This year I got the opportunity to meet some amazing people and make some awesome friends. And even recently I've made some new friends. The beginning of second semester was a time to say goodbye to some friends and a time to say hello to others, and that’s exactly what I did. I had the great honour of meeting two American exchange students who are here just for the semester and they have become like my sisters. I love them so much and really appreciate them. I am going to have an emotional crisis when they leave at the end of the semester. Now these two special people are Lauren Salois and Vanessa Arguello. Lauren is like my wise older sister who always has my best interests at heart, Ness (Vanessa) on the other hand, is my antagonistic little sister who I fight with a lot but always manage to resolve things quickly and whom I love dearly.

The point I'm trying to make is that being in University, especially first year, is where you will make some of the best friends you'll ever have and those who you will treasure dearly and will remain in your life forever. Just come to University being yourself and you are bound to make many, many friends! :)
