Unexpected Visits

Ohio Northern is an amazing school but freshman year, my best friend, Kendyl transferred halfway through the academic year. She was unhappy on campus and knew that the best thing was for her to leave. I supported her knowing that Ohio Northern was not the place for her anymore but ever since, I felt like a part of me is missing. Throughout the remainder of the year, Kendyl and I would FaceTime at least once a week, as this was the best way to stay in touch and feel connected to each other. 

Sophomore year came around and I was really struggling. I did not enjoy my major and was having minor roommate problems. Kendyl recognized that I was miserable and asked what she could do to help me feel better. I conceded that a weekend visit would really help. At first she did not think she would be able to, but after some convincing she made the trip. This was the best weekend I had all year! Whenever we are together, we always have the best time. Laughing the whole time, there is never a dull moment. Kendyl made the hour and a half trip again that spring.  

On the first day of classes this year, I texted Kendyl to let her know how much I missed her. Though I know she is happier at her new school, I made sure to tell her she always has a place to stat if she wants to visit! My school year started off rough. I called her all the time and kept her up to date with what was happening. Friday afternoon, Kendyl texted me and shared how she wanted to come to visit. Without hesitation I told her yes and that she could come whenever! As soon as the text sent, I FaceTimed her and asked her what were the odds she packed up her stuff and left right now. In less than three minutes, I was able to convince Kendyl to make the trip and we had another memorable weekend. 

Kendyl might not be a student at Ohio Northern anymore, but despite the distance, she has become my closest friend. When she is around, I feel like I do not have to worry about anything else going on. We spend the whole weekend smiling, laughing, and being grateful for the time we do get to have together. Each time Kendyl comes up is better than the last, but this weekend, she hang with my sorority littles too! She was able to meed them when she visited before but this weekend, we were able to spend more quality time all together. I am so happy that Kendyl came up and cannot wait for the next time she visits!

she has been that friend that I have become closest with. When she is around, I feel like I do not have to worry about anything else going on. Spending the whole weekend smiling, laughing, and being grateful for time we do get to spend with each other. Each time Kendyl comes up is better than the last but this weekend, she meets my littles. Kendyl met them last time she came up this year but this time the four of us hung out all weekend together. The four of us were able to have the best weekend and I loved it!
