The bond of living together in a college residence is a powerful thing. I grew to know and love these women as if they were my sisters. And even though we don't see each other or even talk often we are still close, close friends. Seeing them together yesterday was wonderful! Thanks, Girls! Let's do it again next summer :)
Wow, that's so neat to get together and catch up. I value so much those friendships where we can just pick up where we left off regardless of how many years have passed.
