Mutual Friends

Yay… I get to school around 7:45am the time my best friend, who I wish was my girlfriend, Mirabella tries to get here every day but fails miserably. I cannot help but laugh at her disheveled state as she comes off the bus. “Hey Mirabella!” I yell trying to get her attention through the crowd of people.…

On Tuesday, I was back in downtown Silver Spring for another lunch get together but this time with my close friends Heather, Angela and Angela’s new boyfriend, Nick. The two of them hadn’t been dating very long, and Angela wanted Heather and me to meet him and give our opinion. We decided eat at Red Lobster. I’ll say this much, it was very easy to communicate with Nick, because he loves to talk. He strikes me as the kind of person who always has to be “on” all the time. He’s got a very silly…

I was walking with my friend to class when it happen. Before it happened, I noticed that I had seen no teachers or adults for that matter in the halls. When it happened, there was the sound of a large crash and the whole building shook like there was huge earthquake just under Badger. What happened? At first, I had no idea what happened until I looked out the window then I saw it. A huge glass dome had covered the entire school. Floods of students like moths to light ran outside to see what had…

some old friend’s house first and that was the worst part of the trip for me. When we were 20 minutes away my father said “We are going to Rick’s house first to visit them for the meantime, and then we’re going to the buffet restaurant to meet old friends for dinner.” When we arrived, my parents talked to them about the last years they hadn't seen each other and all that kind…

or the movie of the popular girl in school that every guy is in love with or every girl wants to be. In elementary school, it seemed that’s all, the little girls I grew up with, based their lives off of. Not me. Although the idea of having lots of friends and many guys wanting to go out with you seemed great;…

success in the future. I study hard now so that I can get accepted to the university of my dreams. I am now aware that my goals will not be achieved if my work ethic is weak. Staying up all night to grasp a concept or passing up going out with my friends to study may get me one step closer to where I envision myself to be in the future, and it is a sacrifice I am willing to…

into the people we will become; these people are called friends. They bring a lifetime of irreplaceable laughter and sadness that one could not live without.

Set in New York, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt Leblanc), Chandler (Matthew Perry), Ross (David Schwimmer), and Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette) are a group of six friends that go through situations of everyday life together…
