Utah State Friends

Today I thought I would write about the lifelong friends I made during my first year at Utah State University. The first friends I made were Jessica and Alex on the first day after moving into our suite in the Living Learning Community. We would hang out in the living room and walk around campus. Kaitlin, Jessica's older sister, came into the friend group later in the semester when she came to spend time with Jessica. Leanna also joined the friend group during the first semester. Eleven years later, we are still friends. We hang out in person a handful of times per year and Kaitlin and Jessica were bridesmaids in my wedding. We lost contact with Alex for several years but she randomly texted us in February and we have been in contact since. Alex is in Arizona and Jessica is in California. Kaitlin is luckily still in Utah. I am so fortunate to have friends like them.
