During college they say we meet our lifelong friends and I believe that’s true even though it may take a while for them to appear. I believe I have met my lifelong friends and was fortunate enough to live with a majority of them for an academic school year. I lived with four of my girlfriends my senior year of college and I must say it was a lot of good times and quite a few bad times.
We got to see the bad sides of one another as well as share and celebrate the good times. But overall I would not regret living with my friends; I would do it all over again if I were able to. It was a good experience because we all learned about each other a little more. It opened our eyes to the type of people we are and the type of friends we are to each other. I had opportunities to get to know some of my friends more than I ever did and relate to them more than ever.
Buzz Feed had a great list of what happens when you live with your friends, and it reminded me of my situation.
However! Being that there was so much estrogen, PMS, and relationship issues in the house getting to us our attitudes conflicted with one another. This is how we learned to deal with each other accordingly; we knew when one of us had an attitude, when someone needed a shoulder, or a shirt to borrow. What I learned about my friends and myself is that we may not always like each other or want to laugh with one another but at the end of the day we still care for one another.
Even when we got into a big argument at the end of the school year, feelings were hurt, and some left that argument more guarded. But we remained friends because we saw more than a friendship. We saw a sisterhood
