"Who needs a boyfriend. I've got my girl friends. When we get together, the party never ends." ~Jessica Andrews

       My New Year's resolution: love myself and have fun with my girls. When people tell you boys come and go, but girl friends are forever, they aren't lying. I cannot tell you the number of times when I was in high school that I wished I had that special connection with a guy. I had my girl friends, but I always thought that I needed a guy or boyfriend to make me happy. That whole perspective changed for me this semester at college. I've learned to realize that I am ultimately the one who needs to make myself happy, and my girl friends are there whenever I need them.
       I think I've had the most fun with my roommates this year than any other year. We are ALL crazy and insane sometimes, but that's what makes the college experience. To understand more of what I'm talking about, let me try to paint you a picture of a normal night in our apartment (this is being sober mind you). Most of us are athletes and workout almost everyday, so as you can probably guess, we have a lot of energy. One night coming back from the cafe me and one of my roommates heard the song "Heart Vacancy" blasting from our apartment. We opened the door and found two of our roommates passing a lacrosse ball around in shorts and sports bra, and my other roommate busting out moves from Jersey Shore. Now me being the bizarre person that I am, I decided to show up her moves with some of my own. To be honest, it was more like I was having a seizure with the number of convulsions and non existent hip hop moves I was doing. So then we had a dance party on a Wednesday night, sober. Four of us decide to dress up in the weirdest pieces of clothing we had in our closet. We had our underwear over spandex, Mexican hats, lacrosse sticks, high socks and bandannas on. We were acting like ballistic animals on crack. I loved it. It was the most fun I've had with girls in a long time. I guess what I'm getting at is that I've learned to cherish every moment with them and would rather spend day and night with them than a guy right now, "the party truly never ends" when I'm with them :)
