" It&amp;#039;s tempting to get settled in with a solid group of friends and never leave. But in high school, I was always a floater; I had lots of friends but was never in a &amp;quot;group.&amp;quot; In college, I was starting to get locked into a group, but I realized how limiting it could be. I absolutely adore my two best girlfriends at college, but spending every second together made me get frustrated with them, even when they were doing nothing wrong. I needed to branch out! I missed some of the friends I had made earlier in the year, and I hadn&amp;#039;t made any new ones. I began reconnecting with friends from first semester, but it still wasn&amp;#039;t quite enough. I felt like I had missed out on things, and they had become closer. That was fine with me, because they are very welcoming whenever I decide to join them. But I still felt like something was missing. On my choir trip to Texas, I really bonded with my roommates on the trip. We were acquaintances before the trip, but now I really feel like I&amp;#039;ve made some great friends. They supported me when I was sick and miserable and laughed with me when we were met with all kinds of bad luck on the trip. I had a blast!  I feel so lucky to have gotten to know Sharon and Taylor, and hopefully we can carry on our friendship past the trip :) We already have plans for a reunion shopping trip and sleepover, so it&amp;#039;s a good start!
