When I worked as an RA, more than once I was asked about making and keeping friends. More often than not, my advice was, “Be friends with people who share similar interests and make you happy.” But recently, I’ve decided to change that advice to, “Be friends with people who will drive you to your parents’ house or the E.R. when you’re too busy crying.”
This week I had a family emergency and needed to go home. I only live an hour away, and in the midst of my tiny panic attack, I had an amazing amount of people give their support, advice and offers to take me home.
What would you do for a friend?
