With every new beginning comes excitement, change, and new opportunities. Coming into this semester i knew things would be different, but what this semester had in store was something completely different that i had originally thought.
This summer i found out that two of my best friends were not coming back to NGU so i knew things would be different there. I thought that i wouldn't have them to lean on, to talk about my problems with, but thankfully none of that happened. True i couldn't just walk to their room and cry, laugh, and talk to them, but they were there for me through everything. I started to realize that having a friend close by all the time does not dictate your friendship. Friendship to me is more of the heart and not the location. I love them more then ever and now know that the friendship we have is real and forever. They're truly the girls that i can see myself being friends with through it all, heck, they might even be in my wedding =]
Another thing i have learned is that even though you might be best friends, there is still going to hard times. The important thing is to talk about them and not let it get the best of you. Being friends is not always going to be the easiest thing, like in the movie the notebook when Noah tells Allie they will have to work at the relationship every day. I know that's kind of extreme to compare it to, but it's true. Friendship takes work. Even those who are closest to you seem to be the furthest away.
Remember the old saying "make new friends, but keep the old". Yeah well, it is not that simple. I wish it was, why is it impossible for a person to make new friends and hang out with them without others getting mad at you. This semester had allowed me to make many new friends that a cherish more and more. The length of time of being friends does not determine how deep of a friendship two people have. I look forward to next semester to see what happens.
This semester has also brought huge changes in "my" career plans. I have learned to submit to God's will and not my own, or one that pleases those around me. People might not understand at first why you are making the change, but as long as you and God knows what is going on everything will be alright. God's will is not the easiest thing to to, but it is the best thing to do.
Along the lines of pleasing people, it's impossible. There is no possible way that you can please every one! People are confusing, they never know what they want.
This semester has brought a lot of change in my life and to me change is not a bad thing. I like to see how God continues to use me and see how he is changing my life for His glory.
I am excited to see what next semester has in store!!
