Taylor Girl Reunion

There is something about those friends from my freshman year of college. They are the friends that were with me as I first was learning how to live on my own and grow up a little. The friends that walked into your dorm on the very first day and from that moment was a person you could count on. The friends that plan a special birthday kidnapping and breakfast even though they only met you two weeks before. The friends that get you up for church even though you were all up until 2 in the morning the night before. The friends that let you cry all over their shoulder because you are learning about love. The friends you fight with, but then always forgive. The friends who you share your closet with. The friends you eat in the cafeteria with (especially on stir fry nights). The friends who will double with you on awkward dates. The friends who take you to their house for Sunday dinner so you don't have to eat nasty chicken cor don bleu in the cafeteria again and so you can just be with a family. The friends who warm up your feet after playing Jenga outside in December. The friends who help you when you are scared from watching the Ring. The friends who are there as you get your heart broken and when you break hearts yourself. The friends who help you as you grow in your testimony.
I love these friends. I would do anything for them and know they will always be there for me too. Those Taylor 2100 floor girls definitely hold a special place in my heart. You know who you are.

You're so sweet Manda, what a fun post to read. We had some great times, huh. I always tell people that they should live in the dorms their first year of college because my year there was so amazing. Thanks for that :) Love you!
