REAL FRIENDS?

I started college with a new mind set, New Beginning, basically a NEW ME! I wanted to explore and seek out what was best for me. I left my friends and family behind To meet new people and experience college head on. Of course as a freshman, I was meeting new people left and right, But I stuck with the people I was more comfortable with. Time begins to pick up and move by rather quickly and I became really close to the ones that were by my side. I totally ignored my duties as a “friend” to the ones I left behind. Continuing on to my second semester, I thought the people I befriended Were my true friends, while forgetting about the ones I left behind. Reality set in when I found out that those people were never REAL FRIENDS, Even with all the things I willingly did for them without wanting anything in return. I had to deal with the fact that everyone couldn’t be a part of my life, That I probably wouldn’t find my REAL FRIENDS in my freshman year of college. So as I get closer to entering my sophomore year, I will be more mindful of people And not so quick to call someone my “friend.” As I continue to find myself, I am realizing that one of the realist friends I could have Is MYSELF.
