-A Reflection- Looking Back on a Semester: Friends

Wow. I can't believe it. My first semester of college is over. It's so weird hearing myself say that. I tell people that I finished my first semester, and it seems so unreal. But yet, it's true. It has been such a fun semester, and yet there have been some hard times along the way, but overall, it has been an experience that I wouldn't give up for anything. I have made so many amazing friends along the way, and in this reflection on this semester, I want to mainly focus on them.

The friends that I have made at Bryan have made such an impact on my life. They really have, and I've only known them for a short while. They mean so much to me, they really do. All of them are so unique and special, and I love every single one of them. :D

Lauren, she is such an encouragement to me. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I can go to her and she always has an encouraging word for me. She is so sweet. Kayla, she is crazy, but in a good way. :D She gives my life that element of randomness, always keeping me on my toes, not knowing what might happen next. She brings a lot of fun into my life.  Yolonda is someone that I can depend on. She keeps me going when I just feel exhausted with things and just want to give up on things sometimes. I know that she's always there for me. Desirae, she's like a big sister. She's kind, and looks after me sometimes. We both love anime, and we get along great. :) Elisa, she is just a sweetheart. She is also becoming a big sister figure to me as well. :) There are many other great gals that I know too. Brenna is really funny and light-hearted, Katherine is just an altogether fun person to be with, Grace is really smart and it's fun to have deep conversations with her, and Wendy is an awesome singer and piano player and fun to be around.

Now, I can't leave out my guy friends. Josh, he is a great guy. ^_^ I actually consider him my closest guy friend at Bryan. He is really funny, a little crazy, but very dependable and caring. Tim, he's like a big brother. I actually met him way before I started attending Bryan. He knows how to make me smile. :) Matt, he's really funny. He has a great sense of humor. Sean, he's a nice guy. He likes a lot of the same things I do, and in some ways is also like a big brother. Mark is an interesting fellow who likes wearing capes, but that's what makes him awesome. He is really nice and fun to hang around. Adam C. is hilarious. :D He is funny, nice, and is a wonderful musician and a great friend. Luke is one of those guys that everyone needs someone like him around, because of his wit and knowledge. Zach is a really sweet guy. He is dependable and fun to hang around as well.

All of my friends are so amazing, and I know that as the next semester begins to unfold, I will get to know these wonderful people even more and become closer to my friends. :) I am ready to see what next semester has in store for me. :D

Well, that's all I have to say about that, so I shall end it here. Have a wonderful week friends!
