I tend to forget how important girlfriends are in life. I’m friends with mostly boys and spend a lot of my time with them. But when it comes down to it, I have a core group of girls who mean the world to me. They’re the ones who would be there for me at 3 in the morning if I needed something. They’re the ones who know me to the core.
Last night the seven of us girls went to Color Me Mine for a girls’ night. This is a place where you paint ceramic objects (from plates to picture frames to figurines) and they get fired and all that good stuff, and you pick them up about a week later. We decided that instead of just making things for ourselves, we would do a Secret Santa–ish thing and draw names out of a bowl and make something for one of our besties. I decided to make a mug for my friend McKenna since she will have her own apartment next year when she’s in L.A. for college. It was a special gift to be able to give her. The time we spent together was the best, most fun night I’ve had in a long time.
Lately, I have been overly stressed with school, moving and trying to choose a college, and spending a night with my best friends refreshed me. It was nice to just be with the people I love and be able to relax. We talked about things that were stressing us and laughed at silly things that only we would understand. It was perfect, and exactly what I needed. I really believe that you can get through anything with a solid group of friends by your side. A sisterhood is priceless.
So, girls, go out and spend some time with your best friends—you won’t regret it. It’s a good way to remember how blessed you truly are. And, hey, even if you aren’t all headed off to different places around the country for college next year, the time you have to spend with friends should still be treasured.
