Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

I've been in a long distance relationship before and that was  difficult enough but a long distance friendship? That's something that I don't even want to think about.

Nearly two and a half years ago, my best friend went through recruitment and she ended up with a bid to my chapter. Then, I had no idea that she would be my best friend, nay, my soulmate, but over the past two and a half years, we became close through another sister and since then, we've been inseparable. She's the one that I go to for advice on just about any subject. She's my rock. She's the best friend that I've ever had.For the past two years, she and I have served on executive board together and needless to say, we're inseparable.

She's seen me at my best and has held me at my worst so what do you do when the future is going to have you split up?


She's an EMT and applying for jobs as an EMT before she goes to PA school and I'm wanting to get a job in law enforcement for a few years before I go to law school.

The job market, as most of us know, is tight. There aren't a whole lot of jobs in both of our job markets within the same cities, or at least not in most cities.

One of my biggest fears is that we'll be split up and that we'll ultimately drift apart.

I recently shared that fear with her and she shared this same fear, ultimately leading us to have to work to keep our friendship alive, which I don't think is going to be a problem because she's the mac to my cheese, the peanut butter to my jelly, and the best to my friend. 

Even though I now that our friendship will never die, I'm honestly more nervous to have a long distance friendship than I was when I was in a long distance relationship.

I'm not the best at expressing my feelings but this girl is undeniably my best friend in the entire world! If anybody has seen How I Met Your Mother, I'm Ted and she's Marshall. We share the same thoughts and feelings, and in 17 days, we'll share the same graduation ceremony as we both receive our Bachelors degrees! 

When you're in a sorority, people always say that you pay for your friends. No, I don't and even if that statement were true, I didn't pay nearly enough for them and I certainly didn't pay enough for my best friend. There's no amount of money in the world that adds up to what my best friend is worth and I'm truly glad that she's my best friend and sister! 

Phi Sigma Sigma brought us together and nothing will be able to tear us apart!
