I am a firm believer in the buddy system and having a buddy is THE best.
Finding a good friend is like finding a boyfriend. You test the waters with a bunch of people and every once in a while you come across someone that you just click with and you find someone that gets you.
Since moving to New York I have had to start from scratch. I have had to meet new people, adjust into a new apartment, break into new groups of friends and I have begun a career path. Now that I am no longer a student I feel like I am truly beginning a new chapter in life. This is chapter one of my adult life because in college there is no way I ever felt like an adult.
New York is a amazing. I love it here. Everyday and I wake up and I can't believe that I live in this amazing city and that Central Park is my backyard! However, I do miss my best friends. I miss the kind of friends that you don't have to call, you just show up at their house. I miss sleepovers, watching netflix, eating chocolate chip cookies and talking about boys and dating drama! I miss the kind of friends that know you inside and out. They know you inside and out because they have been with you through some of your most difficult experiences.
I know friendships like that take time to build. In a strange/new/gigantic city, it is nice to have at least one friend do to things with. Everyone needs a buddy! Whether it is their brother, sister, friend, hunsband or dog everyone needs someone.
