Well, I have 2 sets of best friends, so I guess I will tell both stories--
My 5 high school best friends I met my sophomore year of high school. I was dating a guy that went to a different school and I was completely unhappy with my friends at my current highschool--they were really just mean and petty. So, one night, I was out with my boyfriend and all of his friends, complaining about how much I hated my school and they were like, "well, transer here and we will be your new best friends" and I looked at Stephen and was like "would you mind" and he just smiled and said no. So I went home, talked about it with my mom and dad and made the decision to transfer schools at the semester break(it was a private school). It was a GREAT decision! The girls that were my boyfriends friends were wonderful and are still today my best friends, even though Stephen and I broke up a year later. I am even a bridesmaid in one of their weddings next year. The crazy thing is they had all been friends since kidnergarten and I came in sophomore year, yet it was like I had been there forever. We always laugh that I just must have been a part of them in another life!
My second group of best friends were from college. I met the first part of my group because she was one of my AOTT pledge sisters and I thought she was so funny! She and I became good friends and decided to live together(with another sister) our junior year. She was laviliered to a Lambda Chi, so we did everything with that fraternity and through her and all of those guys, I met my group of 8 best friends, jokingly referred to as the Lambda Chi groupies(we liked to think we would have been little sisters if Elon would have allowed that). They were and still are my favorite part of college and I still talk to most of them everyday. It was neat too because we were all different sororities, but we knew we were all best friends too. We even had our own little secret saying (SHMILY), and we would laugh and say we were the AXiPi(and Kappa's), because it was a mix of AXiD, AOTT, and Sigma Kappa. I guess I am pretty lucky to have such amazing friends!
