College Friends

This morning I woke up to a text from two of my college friends saying that thry wanted to hang out. I was so excited! It has been at least three years since we had seen each other last! We have tried to see each other a few times, but our schedules didn't allow it.

These are two from a group of five of us that were inseparable in college. We slowly became five by the end of sophomore year. Then Junior and Senior year we took everything together. We studied together after class. We had a special place in the library that was ours. So much so ours, that there is a picture of us in our spot plastered on the walls in the student union. I felt for sure we would be friends forever.

One went to medical school.
One went to Physician Assistant School.
One went to anesthesiologist assistant school.
One went to biology informatics.
And I didn't get into Med school, and struggled to get a roof over my head after a nasty divorce.

The last time we really saw each other was graduation.
We were all supposed to get together again at the wedding of one of the women in our group. However, I didn't have reliable transportation at the time. I was devastated that I had to miss.

The following Christmas a few of us got together to visit. We decided to visit our friend in his hometown and city where his university was located. We were going to go tobogganing, but the weather didn't permit. So we explored his university, road the buses, went to a book shop and a pastry shop, bought a carton of water, went out to eat for lunch and dinner. It was so much fun!

So when I woke up to a text asking if we can try to make that trip happen again I was excited! I know that I'm still the loser friend who doesn't have her shit together, but I'm trying to adult now! I want to catch up and see how they are doing! I always knew we are all destined for greatness.

With college friends you have to understand thst you meet in a place where everyone is trying to figure out who they are. We found each other then and bonded. Then we graduated and hoped for the best. Most succeeded in going on to the next step. Soon we will all get thrown into the realities of life and will have to navigate it with what skills we've obtained.

I hope that in the years to come that all five of us can get together again and bond like we once did. Be the fab five that conquerors the world.

But until then I hope I can at least meet up with these couple! Though we live in opposite corners of the state, I hope we can grow close again! I've really missed them!!!
