Making Friends...

The first day of college came as  a surprise to me, when I arrived for my first class. As I was walking down the hallway I ran into a fellow classmate that was attending college like I was. I found it a bit bizarre that he was waiting outside the same class I was. Whether he was there for another friend to get done with their class or was he taking mine. Then, I asked and sure enough he was taking the same class as I was. 

Knowing that the entire semester I was going to be taking a class with a kid from high school was going to make this first semester a little less nerve wrecking and more enjoyable. A bit of background history about the two of use, is that we never really talked to each other until senior year. Not because we had a problem with one another, we simple were in different social groups in high school. Though through my accident of breaking my arm I was forced to join bowling my senior year instead of basketball like I had in the past. 

I got to know his passion for bowling, which was a stepping stone in becoming friends in college. It has come as a complete benefit to both of us, for the reason of college being a bit more difficult then high school ever was. I am glad to know that we have become friends through college. A quote from him is that, "good friends are discovered through college." Which is very true, since we hangout almost everyday of the week whether we are bowling or study for a chemistry exam. This friendship couldn't have come at a better time in my life.
