friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
Carolina
In recent days, I felt compelled to reassure each of my close friends about how amazing they are and how much they have impacted me. Today, we start with Carolina, a girl who is simply amazing (like in every single way). I met Carolina on bid day (we love pi phi!!!) and began talking to her a little more as we fell into a friend group of sisters. Soon after bid day, I realized this was my girl. She was always making me laugh, always asking me how I'm doing, and encouraging me in every way. Due to some friend issues she had been having, I pulled her into my friend group (outside the sorority), and got even closer to this amazing girl.

A Prom to Remember
On June 22, 2018, it was the day of my senior prom. The event started off really well with me meeting my friends, and they were in their suits, white shirts and ties, however I was the only one wearing purple. They didn’t tell me we were suppose to be matching, so in all the pictures that we took I was the one standing out the most. After we were done taking pictures together at my friend Alessia’s house, and we were about to board the limo, I announced out loud that, in ten years time, we would do it all over again when I put a ring on Alessia's finger. Her mom was a bit surprised to hear me say that, but my the rest of the parents shared a laugh. When we got to the hall, we sat down, ate some food, took a few more pictures, and we went back after about two hours in the hall, and went back to my other friend Mikayla’s house to change, and prepare for our after prom. While at Mikayla’s house we were all doing shots with the other parents that were there. I thought it would be a good idea to take in seven shots of pure vodka before we headed out to leave for our after prom. Prior to leaving for our actual prom I had a beer and a glass of champagne, so I was a little bit tipsy that night. For after prom the students were leaving on a party bus, and this party bus had a pole on it, and because my friends and people knew I was going into comedy, they expected “entertainment” from me, so you know what they made me do? They made me dance on that pole without a shirt on, so all you see in the videos that people were taking was some skinny fat guy having the time of his life! I had new aspirations that day–forget comedy–I was going to become a male stripper, Magic Mike Triple XL. The funny thing is that prior to us leaving for after prom my friend Alessia’s mom told me, “Pero, you’re the mature one of the group. Take care of our children for us,” and I was just thinking, “Right.” We got back from after prom at around two in the morning, and it was pouring rain outside, we were all drenched, and the bus dropped us off at the recreation centre that was right next to our school, and I was the closest one who lived near by, so we all walked to my house in the pouring rain and slept over at my place for the night. The next morning all my parents saw was seven (including myself) wet, passed out guys sleeping in the beds and mattresses around their house. It was a very fun adventure/experience!

Friendships Are Not Always Lifelong!
As much as we would like to believe it, friendship doesn’t always last a lifetime. There are times when we lose someone that we feel a connection to through ways other than death. Losing a family member or friend through death is a tragedy that one must accept as a part of life since it’s so final. Sadly, death is a part of life that will eventually affect everyone. Once it happens, there is no chance of going back to resolve any issues with the one whose life is lost. Parents, as well as elders of the family, often tell their youths that true friendship lasts a lifetime if it can stand the tests of time.

Astro-Ship
"When Capricorn and Pisces form a friendship, it's a union of opposite natures attracting. Capricorn is practical and down to earth, scrupulous and possessed of a strong work ethic. Pisces is very spiritual and dreamy, taking on the needs and concerns of those around them. These friends together form a sincere and devoted pair, and both have good morals. They admire each other. Capricorn likes Pisces' ephemeral and kind nature, and Pisces appreciates Capricorn's quick mind and tenacity. This is a friendship that may take time to develop, but it will grow stronger and closer (Horoscope).

That Old Lot
Anyone ever had that one place they feel connected to? For some it’s a camp, for others it’s their grandparents house, and for some, it’s wherever their heart feels at home. Always, and I mean, always, do they talk about these deep emotional, and philosophical reasons why they feel this way. Whether it represents a bigger picture, or it’s just the people that live there. It’s always this strong tie that seems unique, yet universal somehow.

Lethal Friendships
It happened again. Probably the worst she has ever experienced in her life. Everything was fine one moment, and then it hits her. Like a Mack Truck. No prelude to this. No warning. No argument to clue her in on the uncontrollable feeling that would soon take her over.
