I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

It is 3:30 a.m. on the Wednesday of most of my friends final week of college. My,my,my how the time flies. Three whole days until they begin their lives as functioning members of society. Three days until they go out and change lives, or the world for that matter. Three days until the greatness that I know, the greatness that I get to experience everyday is going to be experienced by a whole group of new people who have no idea what they are in for.

It's funny,  one day you are helping someone you barely know raise their bed for the first time and suddenly it's four days until graduation and you can't imagine your life without them.It's funny how the quiet kid who plays video games becomes one of the most stable people in your life for four years. It's funny how the competition becomes one of your closest friends and takes you on a journey that completely changes you as a person. It's funny how the girl in pink who you were never officially introduced to becomes someone who you spend countless hours with, someone who goes out of their way to make you a better person. It's funny how the girl from desk staff becomes one of your closest friends without either of you ever really noticing. . It's funny how these people become part of you, and how they don't know that when they leave they are taking little pieces of you with them.

I knew that when they left I was going to be sad. I knew that I made some friends that I intend to keep forever. What I didn't know was that I was going to meet some of the greatest people I will ever know here. I didn't know that I could be lucky enough to have this many real friendships in my life. I didn't know that when I made one of the most of the difficult decisions in my life that these people would rally around me. I didn't know that people like me got to spend precious time with the "game changers" of the world. If you are wondering how I know these people are game changers, the answer is kind of simple. When these people change other people's lives the way they changed mine, it will get noticed. I just hope people don't take them for granted the way I have, that would be a damn shame.
