Late Night Special #5: Friends, How Many of Us Have Them?

Tonight's edition of the late night special is a discussion of friends. *sigh* Ah, a word used quite often that people don' t always know the meaning of. Seeing that I have almost completed my first year of college I have come in contact with different situations with "friends". What IS a friend anyway? The dictionary defines a friend as 'a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard or gives assistance or support.' Ok, who wrote that bullshit? A FRIEND is someone who does support, who does have affection towards you, but a REAL friend is someone who excepts you flaws and all no matter the circumstance. No argument or situation can come between them. Here at Bethune-Cookman I've met an array of people from different backgrounds and differences. As much as people want to believe it we cannot trust EVERYONE. Ok people? Get it? Now, I know we all make mistakes and whatnot and believe me I've learned first hand of these so-called "friends". And I mean I learned the HARD way. All I'm trying to say is let's make the world a better place. I challenge you, YES Y-O-U! Be a shoulder to lean/cry on, share a smile to brighten someones day, even if you don't know the person just give a compliment or say something encouraging or uplifting. It makes a world of difference, TRUST ME! And let's also remember that little thing called karma can be something serious. So, are you up for the challenge?
