Hope everyone had a great (extended in many cases due to President's Day) weekend! In fact, I just realized (as in 10 minutes ago) that I even forgot to post yesterday. What a weekend.
It seems that the majority of the people on my campus went out of town for the weekend (to visit family or friends), where I was stuck here because of the roads. But that's not a bad thing, and instead I enjoyed myself because I build my own family. I know I'm not alone: I have the family I was born into, and then there's the family I make through close friendships and relationships. And it's a close knit community - something I would definitely label as a family.
Over this weekend, I've been thinking a lot how lucky I am to have found such a great group to call my friends. I've seen many people make interesting choices on who their friends should be (because they're "cool" or "have money"), and it can negatively (or positively for that matter) effect who you are. And then there's the situations where people don't have much of a choice anyways, where the field of work or their area of living has them fall into a rut. And based from owning a car, 4x4, and dirt bike, I know that ruts can be a pain in the ass to be in.
So I recommend to thing about your friends, and who you associate yourself with. What kind of person are you, and are they beneficial to you? But most importantly - appreciate your friends. More than half the time, they are the ones who can help the most in a hard spot.
