Three of my good friends from Pittsburgh, AR, JM, and HF, went away this summer. AR went to Paris and then to the beach, JM went to Canada and then to West Virginia, and HF went to Tanzania. It's so great for all of them, I just miss them. I was friends with all three of these girls in high school, but none of them are really friends with each other. So even when they are home, I have to hang out with all of them separately. They're each a different kind of friend to me, but it's hard making so many separate dates to hang out with each of them.
There are two girls that I have been friends with since foreverrrrr. Literally we've been friends since at least 4th grade and through high school. KL and MN went to the same high school (the local public one), and I went to the all girls catholic one. Somehow, it's always been the same with the three of us. I feel like MN is the hyper, talkative, optimistic one, KL is the artsy, realistic, passionate one, and I'm right in the middle of them. We've hung out a few times this summer and it's so nice to be around them.
Besides those goof balls from home, I miss my friends from school so much! I'm so excited for this weekend because I'm going to Boston on Saturday to visit EA. KA and EK are coming too! We're all staying in Boston for 3 days, then on Tuesday KA and I are going to New York City and then LBI on Wednesday. On Friday PC is picking me up and I'm going to Avalon with him. Saturday I'm going to school to work on the Orientation Magazine with the school newspaper, and then the following Tuesday I'm going to D.C. to visit my aunt. It's going to be the most amazing vacation ever because I get to see so many of my friends. I really miss them a ton!
EK, EA, and I have been friends since the beginning of freshman year because we were all on the Rowing Team together. It's so cool that we're still so close because the three of us have definitely gotten into our own separate paths in college. They understand me better than I understand myself. I love being around them and I love being at school because I don't feel like I have anything to hide. I can be myself, mistakes and all, and they're still going to love me for them. I don't always feel that way at home.
This past spring I joined Pi Beta Phi and fate definitely brought KA and I together. Our last names are right next to each other in the alphabet and all through rush we were paired up or next to each other in line. We started talking and could recite all the basic details about each other. As fate would have it, we both ended up in Pi Phi and have been best friends ever since. It's funny how things like that happen...I wonder if we would have ever met, or at least become such good friends, if it weren't for our last names.
In the end though, where would I be without my sister? CR is my world. I don't think I could make it through a day without her. She's so much more than my sister, she's my best friend. I trust her with my life. We've been close for as long as I can remember. We've never gotten in a real fight (although we've had our fair share of fist fights) and have always been there for each other. No one will ever understand us, but maybe it's better that way.
I wish one of these girls that I mentioned in this post was here, I miss them all. I want to give them all a hug.
Love,
MB
