I wouldn’t trade my friends for the world. Just kidding, I totally would. The world is such an amazing place and there are so many wondrous things in it, including new friends. I mean, how selfish of them for denying me the trade in the first place. While I’m not sure which of my friends would be okay with me trading them for the world, I do know one of my friends who would weigh the pros and cons in his head and be completely okay with it. That friend is at the top of my friend list. Let me start by answering the question I’m sure is on your mind. Why yes, I do order my friends by which I like most. Most find this practice to be somewhat cynical, and they are correct, it is completely cynical. I order my best friends, so that when I have an event to which I can bring a plus one, I can start at the top and make my way down the list, if the first can’t go, no big deal, move on to the second, and etcetera. At the top of the list we have Caleb. This is …show more content…
We also created comics. These comics were simple, with two main characters named Philip and Caleb. We thought it would be fun to switch our personalities, so while the Caleb character is crazy, Philip is more calm and mellow. I drew templates in “Paint” on my computer so we were easily able to create as many as we could come up with. The creation process usually entailed me writing, creating, and posting, and then Caleb removing and editing my horrible grammar. The system could have been better, but we literally had nothing better to do. Although we have since stopped posting comics to our “Philip and Caleb Comics” Facebook page, we still have 93 followers. Mine and Caleb’s friendship did not end there. We both joined the basketball team at our high school. We both sat the bench, and even though we only ever played the last 30 seconds of the games, we had fun talking about what interested us. We mostly discussed video games, movies, and
To choose a friend is to single out, and elevate, one man from the group. Also, choosing a friend requires individual thought, personal choices, and value judgments, all of which are forbidden. They are expected to be mindless, and thus selfless. This should not be condemned because making friends is a natural human thing. Going through life without actually knowing other people gives you a one-sided and skewed view of the world.
When making friends, you must choose the right ones by observing the person's qualities and how they behave. If the person behaves in a bad way, further away this person may lead you down the wrong path and get you into a lot of trouble. Incommensurate, If the person behaves in a good way, then they may be a good friend to have and lead you down the right path. Consequently, friendship is a very good thing to have with many positive and sadly, negative
My friends are very important to me and without them I do not think I would be where I am today. My second real friendship began in the middle of my freshman year of high school. I had been introduced to someone who later became one of my two best friends, Michelle Zabuska, by someone in my Theater class. Some time later, as a result to a major fight caused by a mutual friend of ours, I realized that I had to be careful with whom I trusted. It was Michelle who pointed out a quote from one of our favorite television shows, Felicity, that I realized she was my true friend in every aspect of the word. I started to look at my...
I bet, The people who are your friends right now, most of them are with you for your money! You'd say they're my constants, people I hangout with, they make me laugh, I have a good company, we go to school or college in a bunch, we've got unity, the forever lasting bond, and all that bullshit!
At that age most young boys are pretty similar, allowing for friendships based off of convenience. The amount of seemingly odd conveniences is what has made Nick a lifelong friend. My last name is Yates and his last name is Zuk, so we always ended up sitting next to each other in class, or standing next to each other in line when teachers sorted us by alphabetical order. It is hard to remember at time in which we were not close
choose friends carefully because good friends will always help you but bad friends will lead you
Friendship, love, and affection are high on my list of priorities for a happy life. If I had
Initial contact came the moment he caught my eye during cross-country. I perceived immediate attraction and my friends began referring to him as Paige’s crush. Similarity of interests connected us and provided opportunities for interactional contact through high school soccer. The relationship developed from afar as we watched and learned about each other through the proximity of our neighborhoods, living only a mile apart. Exhilarating, heart-pumping rushes of emotion overwhelmed me each time John called. Showing Interest, John pursued me and wanted to spend time together. Our personalities meshed. Uncontrollable Duchenne smiles took over when I saw or thought about him. Team dinners required no need to speak because our nonverbal communication and eye contact said it all, demonstrated by winks and silly faces. By the end of the summer we were bound and officially dating.
Loyalty can only come from the heart, not from wanting to be a nice person. A loyal friend should support the friendship no matter what (Loyal- Dictionary Definition, 2016). If loyalty is missing other values in the friendship will suffer (cite). Loyalty between two people it is the key characteristic of what holds the friendship together. A good loyal friend pops up in life when everyone else is walking out of it (Doris Ann, 2011). With a loyal friend someone can laugh, weep, never feel bad about exposing yourself, and most definitely is someone worth praying with (Ann, 2011). Friendship with a best friend is just like a four leaf clover, very difficult to find and very lucky to have in life. Good loyal friends are like stars in the sky, they cannot be seen, but they are always there (Ann, 2011). As Doris Ann quotes, “ I asked God for water, he gave me an ocean. I asked God for a flower, he gave me a garden. I asked God for a tree, he gave me a forest. I asked God for a friend and he gave me you. Be loyal to your friends, and as always you must live well to be well” (Ann, 2011). Ann also quotes, “ If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn’t dare to follow, I’d be at the bottom to catch them when they fall”. (Ann 2011). A loyal friend should always have genuine love for the
On a conscious level, we rarely spend much time actually thinking about and classifying our friends. However, since I was a small child, my mother taught me to recognize and appreciate various types of friends. I have discovered that there are three different types of friends. I group them according to how well I know them and how well they know me. We encounter each type of friend everyday, whether in school, home, or at the gym. First, there are the "pest friends"- general acquaintances. Next, there are "guest friends"- social partners. Lastly, we have "best friends"- our true friends.
There are many differences between friends and family, such as whether the relationship will change, what kind of relationships they have and if they live together or not. Each parts show the essential differences between them.
Growing up in school you have your friends in 1st, then in Jr. High, and then when you get to high school you might not even know or see your friends from 1st grade anymore. For the few people who’s had a friend from 1st grade till college I think that someone they need to hold on to because if they stuck with you through all them year I know they’re there for the right reason and there not just there for a season. As Elizabeth Dunphy says, “It’s the little things that matter, that add up in the end, with the priceless thrilling magic found only in a friend.”
In life we come across many people. Some will hate us while others will adore us. The ones who hate us can be referred to as enemies and the ones who show us adoration are referred to as friends. There are three types of friends. They are the aquaintinces we make in school, the friends we loose as one grows, and best friends who may stray, but never too far away.
A friend is someone difficult to find. A friend is someone you can always count on when times are tough. The dictionary's definition of a good friend is a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard. A good friend is there when you are struggling. For example, when a boy breaks your heart a good friend walks you through it and offers a shoulder to cry on. According to Bree Neff, a good friend is someone who is trustworthy, doesn't talk behind your back, listens to your problems, gives good advice and tries to lend humor along with his or her support. There are also bad friends, those who pretend to care and then turn around gossiping and starting drama. Good and bad friends are all around you, involved in your everyday life. To find good friends you should look for such traits as being kind, trustworthy, loyal and dependable.
I met my two best friends through my club and high school teams. The first one, Candace, I met in 8th grade at the club volleyball Halloween party where she was Cookie Monster and I was a zombie volleyball player. We hit it off from there, but we did not become close friends until our first tournament where our moms had planned for us to all share a hotel room. Until then, we had just been teammates, but that first tournament changed my life. We found that we were meant to be best friends and we became inseparable. Her family also had a major impact on my life because they became my second family and I became their second daughter. My second-best friend, Tori, I met during the summer before my 9th grade year. My high school volleyball coach, Putman, introduced us to each other because we were the only freshmen there. While it was awkward at first since we were both new to high school, we very quickly became friends. We were the only two freshmen to make the Junior Varsity team, so we became very comfortable with each other since we were afraid of the upperclassmen. After the highs school season, she joined my travel club team and that is where became the closest we had ever been. I had my two best friends on my club team, and those two girls taught me so much about what it takes to have a healthy friendship. If not for volleyball I would have never met them, and my life would
