Friends are the People That Know Your Flaws but Like you Anyways

My friends are my saviors. I have had very few friend survive thus far, and most of them I met my freshman year. Sky is in her second year of college, and she graduated my freshman year, the same year we met. My friend T.C graduated with her, and I met him through her. Those two are my angels. They have been there for me through thick and thin and have saved me more times than they know. I love them both to death. They're like my older siblings.

My ex boyfriend, Adam, also graduated with them, and he and I still talk from time to time. Most of my relationships end with friendship. My friend Svennewitz and I are pretty close. He's more like my older brother now.

My friend Mady and I have been friends since 8th grade. She's a year younger than me, but she's like my sister. She knows practically everything about me, and I go to her for advice a lot of the time. She and I have had our fair share of fights, though. But the best friends are the ones that you can swear at till your face is blue and they'll still forgive you. I have a few good friends like that. Even though I tend to try not to take my anger out on them, even when they tell me I can. I don't like to let off steam on my friends.

My current boyfriend has been my friend for over two years now, but we have had more than our fair share of fights. He's very jealous, and he's liked me since he met me, or so he claims. Every time I dated someone else we would fight. But we always made up, so I think he has potential.

I look for friends that are honest, loyal, caring, kind, smart and sweet. I have alot more friends that are guys than girls, and alot of them have liked me at one point or another. I've dated a couple of them but some of them just don't appeal to me. It's not them personally but it's my preferences and the way I was raised.

I also look for things in common. Music is my main one. But I also look for common hobbies/intrests. It's an interesting experience. I also look for people who are different from myself, because then I can learn from them and maybe find something I like.

I have lost many friends over the years, but it doesn't bother me much. Most of them either were never really my friends or we just grew apart. Some of them have hurt me, but I think that just makes me that much stronger.

My friends mean alot to me, and while I didn't mention everyone, they are like my family. I practically consider them my siblings. I love them to death, and while they may be at college or preoccupied with their own lives, I miss them and I will always be here for them. I will always listen to my friends, and try to help them in any way I can. They are appreciated, whether they know it or not.

Consider yourself schooled in the way that is me.
