Nursing Study Buddies

Through my journey of college, I have met many people through my classes. Whether it was in general education classes or pre-requisite classes for my major, I have gained and developed many relationships. It is amazing to see that the pre-nursing friends I made freshman year have also achieved their desire to be in the nursing program. It is nice to know that some of them are either ahead of me or are alongside me in my cohort.

While I have made many friends from various sources around campus, there has been one that has sustained since my first semester. Through taking Anatomy and Physiology I and II together, living on the same hall in the dorms, and being in choir, I have gained a great friendship with a fellow individual in our cohort.

We have gone through many good times such as passing nursing pre-requisite classes, going on random adventures to the store late at night for candy, and In-N-Out runs. I am thankful for these awesome times. On the other hand, we have also had many bad times: getting no sleep, becoming distracted while working on homework and studying, and having those stressful and unmotivated days. Despite these bad times, going through college with this person has been quite an adventure.

She is not only a study buddy, but also a great friend. This individual is someone who is there for me and cares for me. I try my best to do the same for her! I think it is important to have amazing friends not only in nursing school, but in college and life in general. I would encourage anyone to take a look into their life to recognize and appreciate those people who are there for them. With that said, I do hope and wish to gain more long lasting friendships with people in my cohort as my journey in the program goes along! I love making new friends!
