fun of me, eating more of my food than I did and teasing me by saying I was bribing them instead of having friends to spend my monopoly money on. We sat at a table in the food court area of the Grille talking about various random topics like friends. When I reminded them that I’m not supposed to be just a friend figure to them, one of the girls piped up and suggested “what about best friends?” I was both flattered and humored as another one of the girls genuinely thought that the name of my role…

More than ten years later, Lily, Marshall, Ted, Barney, and Robin starred in the first episode of a show about a man telling his kids about how he met their mother. Both shows are situational comedies set in New York City. The shows both star a group of white, twenty-something year old adults trying to make it in the city. Monica played by the wonderful Courtney Cox, is the nurturing and controlling “mother figure” of the Friends’ friend group. She is a…

Making a million friends is not a miracle. The miracle is to make a friend who will stand with you when millions are against you, and Clay and Austen are exactly that. One of my best friends is Clay Girard. Some of his hobbies is to play his XBOX 1. He plays it a tremendously a big amount. When me and some friends come over we always play Halo.

Think of a large room. In this room there are people of every age, ethnicity, and country that you can think of. Now think of each individual story behind those lives. Everyone, despite their age, has a unique background, upbringing, and mindset. As college is hastily approaching, I see more and more people wanting to stay in the comfort of living near what is known. Not that there is anything wrong with living close to home, but personally I would rather go to a place completely unique to…

It was sophomore year and everything was wonderful. I have made a couple of amazing close friends last year. Which consisted of Kate, Gertrude, Olga and I. We call them Gertrude and Olga because it is an inside joke. Our friendship was strong and spectacular.

It was early october, and Kate was chatting a lot about how she wanted a relationship. To be fair, the…
