K, Day 4.

Write about your closest friend(s).

Well, my friend web is quite complicated. But let's start with the co-author here, Stephanie.

She and I have an interesting story- we became best friends in middle school, and were so alike. We were awkward and shy with our braces, glasses, and frizzy hair (sorry Steph, we know it's true). We remained close in high school until junior year, where all hell broke loose and we had a falling out. Fast forward two years later. I'm done with my freshman year of college and I get a message on facebook from her, saying she's going to the college literally across the street from me. From my window, I can see her entire campus. Could we meet up so we could maybe put all of this behind us so it wouldn't be awkward if we accidentally ran into each other? Okay, fine, if I have to. Best decision of my life. We picked up right where we left off, and it's been smooth sailing since. We pAArty together, gossip together, and are brutally honest with each other. Nbd.

Sara is my oldest friend. We met in second grade and were best friends right away. She moved away right before high school began, and that was tough. We've remained in contact and it's always been nice to have an objective, outside view on some of my ~problems throughout the years since she's not directly involved. She got engaged this past Christmas, and it is incredibly weird to think she'll be married in a year in a half. She won't be the same little girl playing Restaurant in my basement with plastic food and make believe customers. All the same, I try my best to support her and am a bridesmaid!

Then there is James, and our relationship is always complicated. We dated for about three and a half years in high school and college, and only separated this past summer. We've remained close though, and hang out whenever I'm home. He's the funniest person you will ever meet, I promise.

And finally, I have a great group of friends at school. I never thought I'd be as lucky as I am to have met such wonderful people. We are so alike and so different- something fun is always going on and there's always excitement. There is Sarah, Isabel, Carla, Vanessa, Kristen, Katie, and Natalie. Together the 8 of us (all paired up as roommates in the same hallway at Simmons) always have the best time together.

I love them all! I'm in a sappy mood now.
