Friendship

This morning the topic was on my mind, so decided to share some thoughts here.

One of my friends is coming to spend over this weekend. And it got me thinking how we became friends. We met in college. Same thing happened to most of my friends. I have less than a handful of friends from times prior or after college. And that is fine, I don't have many friends, but the ones I have are good ones. Quality over quantity.
But back to the topic, most of these friends I remember meeting. Or I associate my first friendly memory of them with a specific class or event.
The friend that is coming to visit I met during our first year, first semester, but only got friendly the next one.
However, I can't place a time or event that brought me together to another friend. Mutual acquaintances? Shared classes or group work? Can't remember. She is so important to me that i think she came with the college acceptance package. They knew I needed her to enrich my life and to be a part of it.
She is not a very touchy-feel kind of person, so I can't really tell her this without making her uncomfortable, so I will write it here, so I will always remember the day I figured she has been in my life forever, and that she was already my friend before our paths crossed. We were meant to be friends and destiny just had to make that happen.

I can live for many many years. Pretty sure I will never work on the field I studied. Pretty sure I really don't care. But i am certain that i made the right choice, because it allowed me to meet the people I met and finally find my people there.
