During the second semester of my junior year of college, one
of my best friends, my college roomie, my pledge sister, Jemma, accepted an
amazing internship in Washington D.C. (we all knew she was destined to do great things).
She has more or less been down in the nation’s capital ever
since.
While I have seen her a handful of times since then, speak
to her often, and of course like her occasional post on social media, she
made an unexpected visit this past weekend and I made sure that I was able to
see her (despite working an 8 and half hour shift at my part time job before hand).
After months apart, following the paths of our own lives, It
was great to see her and celebrity where who we were, who we became, and where
we have ended up thus far. Perhaps more importantly, it was nice to confirm
that distance has not diminished our friendship but instead further solidified
it.
Quite honestly, it was like she never left thus confirming
that our friendship despite our busy schedules, fast past lives, and different
careers can survive the test of time.
With the spring semester in full swing at this point, many
sorority women are preparing to graduate --- this in general is a scary
thought.
