10. What is a memory with your closest friend and how does it exemplify your friendship together and how you value friendship as a whole (250 words minimum)
A favorite friend memory I have is staying up all night on top of the Hutchison parking structure to watch the sunrise! It was two of my friends and myself, we spent the entire night BLASTING music with my speaker, paying uno, talking about the most random things ever, finally seeing the sunrise, then going to the dorms and knocking out. This was probably one of the best college memories I have because it was so random, impulsive, and grounding. I share a lot of similar interests with these two individuals, and it was awesome bonding with them. Overall, this experience was grounding as I finally felt accepted for being me.
I value friendship a lot. I feel like it is very important for someone to have some type of connection and support in one way or another. At the very least, friendships allow for momentary distractions which is also pretty valuable.
All this resulted in my interest in becoming Pledge Master. I wanted to be able to provide the pledges with an âautomatic friend,â someone they can feel comfortable, seen, or heard, or at the very least be someone they can distract themselves with! I love talking to people and making new friends. I seriously do not judge people. It's interesting to hear about how other human beings are living their lives and what experiences they have undergone. In addition, I enjoy being âthereâ for my friends. I always want my friends to know that I will have their backs no matter what (sounds so cliche but itâs true). I will always be a listening ear, I will always give them my perspective on things if asked, I will always help them in any way I can, and if anything, I will always be there for moral support. What I value in a friendship definitely includes respect, humor, open-mindedness, and communication. I value trustworthy people who reciprocate my respect and overall energy. Establishing mutual respect for one another provides a strong foundation for a strong friendship to be built. With no respect, there's no strong foundation. Everyone is entitled to live their lives the way they want and as long as it's not hurting anyone else, who are we to judge or stop them? Humor and open-mindedness are also other attributes I value in a friendship. I gravitate more toward those who can laugh hard times and stressors away, which is no easy task, although this is not something cutthroat. In a friendship, I value those who can understand that everyone has a different perspective on life and that everyone is different. Lastly, communication is also very valuable to me in a friendship. People who understand that mind-reading is impossible. I am a very straightforward person, I do not beat around the bush about most things. If someone is able to communicate their feelings and thoughts, there will be no misunderstandings as we will be able to talk about problems and solve them! There are accommodations for everything and people who are willing to put in effort to accommodate are people who I value as friends.
