I want to start out by saying that my friends are fan-freaking-tastic. We come from a small town in Rhode Island where not much goes on and basically not many people before us really left the town. It's a definite homebody, close-knit community full of middle to upper class people, and people on the Southern part of town are 98% Portuguese, meaning, the people my age are first-generation Americans.
Regardless of where the people come from, I seemed to find myself a niche 8 years ago in high school. I had a niche of friends and we honestly and truly were inseperable. We all went out different ways upon graduating and explored different areas of the country and the world. Now, after the culmination of college, I would like to think I have some of the best people in the world, as my personal friends. The amount of things these people have seen and done is phenomenal. Let's put it this way: one of my friends moved out to Chicago, she works as a consultant for a huge company and she's going phenomenally being her own, amazing self, in Chitown. Three of my friends are engineers, with the fourth on his way after he completes his last year of college, due to enrolling in a 5-year program. One of my friends moved to D.C. to begin her job and two left D.C.: one in search of a Master's degree in Public Health at USC and the other moved to Spain to teach children in an elementary school English. One of my friends works for GE in upstate New York as a PR girl and she rocks the party at what she does. She really is one of the best people in the world, or at least I think so, that could be doing PR for GE.
One of my friends moved down by the beaches and is teaching at an elementary school, and two others are in doctorate programs for physical therapy. My saving grace works as an accountant for a large insurance company in Boston and my other saving grace has moved to London and now works as an investment banker there. One of them works for a non-profit organization and gets to rub elbows with the likes of Alicia Keys. She's been to Africa countless times and spends her every waking moment making a difference. I really do have the most kick-ass group of friends a chick can ask for. I could go on, but I don't want you to feel bad about your friends ;-) kidding. But really, I could go on, but I feel as though I've done enough bragging for today...
