friends

Spring Term has been long, but also very eventful. There are not that many students at schools, so you grow really close to the friends you have. I have had a great term and have really been blessed. I am glad to say my friendship with two girls has really grown.

Mary- Mary and I were friends before this term, but pretty much we have become buddy buddy this semester. We did almost everything together. Since I did not have a roommate this term, she hung out in my room all the time. We watched countless movies on the weekends, went to the beach together, ate dinner together almost every night, and made our random trips to Foodland together. I would have to say our best movie night was Jaws. We went and got some ice cream from Foodland and then sat on my bed and watched Jaws and about 4 hours from shark week. We were trying to learn how to avoid a shark attack because we both are a tad afraid of sharks and the North Shore is the number one place of shark attacks in all of Hawaii. Pretty much all we learned was to wear dark colors, stick together, night swimming is really dangerous, and if we were rich we could afford shark repellant or a shark suit. We also saw Water For Elephants and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides together down at Laie Palms Theater. That place smells so gross, but it is worth it because movies only cost $6 with a student i.d. I cannot imagine what I would of done this term without Mary. Dinner at 6 p.m. will not be the same. I loved all our random chats about her crazy roommate or how retarded my academic counselor was!! I will miss Mary this summer for sure!!

Emma- Emma lives 2 doors down from me and has been there since fall. We were always friends, but we never really talked or hung out until this semester. I am so glad that Emma and I became so close this semester. Emma would always knock on my door and then would knock on the wall leading up to the bathroom to make sure I heard her. It was so cute!!! I always knew when she was at my door. Emma and I also became exercise buddies!! I have been trying to get back in shape and it is hard to do it on our own. She is a great motivator and gym buddy. We have had so many little conversations about everything and we are on the same page. The better friends we become, the more we realize we have in common. I am so excited that we will be living in the same house next fall!! We already have plans for many different activities and different food dishes we will make!!!!
