Today, I'm thankful for the friendships I made in college. I know I had classes to get a day free, but it was so much more! The first weekend in freshmen orientation I met my first friend John. I never imagined that we would remain lifelong friends & I would be good friends and housemates with his future wife my senior year. I loved spending time with them...whether to go out to eat, play games or dress up like Napoleon dynamite characters. Always a good time! We haven't seen each other many times since graduating, but I am still so happy to call them friends and to catch up when we can.
Another friend that God blessed me with is Lindsay. It still amazes me how we even met the first week of our freshmen year. I was a special education major and she was elementary education. We had some sort of education class together and both ended up in Reed computer lab working on it ever though we had computers of our own. After that, we were great friends. Lots of laughter, Disney movies and fazoli's. I couldn't have asked for a better friend in college! And even now, we maybe get to see each other 1 time a year, it never feels awkward and we pick back up where we left off.
I'm also thankful for my roommates. I had 3 different roommates during my time in college, but I feel a special roomie bond with them still. Thanks to Ruth, Andi and Kristy for putting up with me! Especially Ruth who put up with me for 2 different years!
There were so many other friendships made. I'm thankful that I had the chance to live in Reed Hall, work at the front desk, be on leadership, major in Social Work, go on mission trips, lead a youth Bible Study at church, and work at Beat the streets. The experiences and relationships I made at IWU really are priceless...even if I am still paying for my degree!
