Personal Narrative : My Best Friend

Me and Ally’s friendship has always been like a roller coaster. There are some ups and downs, but it is always full of excitement and rushes. I’ll never regret meeting her because she made me the person I am today. She’s taught me how to get out of my shell more and be myself, and most importantly she has taught me what having a proper best friend is supposed to be like. To be able to talk to them without any judgement or criticism while also being able to have the best time of your life. Meeting her was the best decision I had ever made, and I will never regret

I didn't see her at all for weeks until one day I was in the main town of our area, a few miles away from our own town. She was just finishing loading her shopping into her car when by chance I walked past her. We had our usual small talk about my family, college and the local football team I played for.

Whether it was during lunch time or during class. We always had a lot to talk about. During our conversation at lunch one day, I learned so much more about her other than she likes sports. I asked Briana what her favorite foods were. She told me pizza and hot dogs. I couldn’t believe that we even liked the same type of foods. “That’s my favorite too”, I told Briana. Then I asked her what does she like on her hot dogs. She said; “only ketchup”. I told her, “I like ketchup, mustard and relish on my hotdog and my favorite pizza is pepperoni pizza”. Briana said, she couldn’t believe how much we were alike. I told her neither could I and that we were so much alike, we could pass for twins. We both just

Its a combo of a few things for me. First I started by downloading the app "Myfitness Pal" by underarmer (the free one of corse). There you plug in your current weight and then your goal weight, and it give you a "calorie limit" to kind of start off with. Then I did some research on healthier breakfast and lunch choices (leaving dinner to eat shit food lol but within the calorie limit). So for example I would eat oat meal for breakfast with almond milk instead of regular milk, or toast with avocado instead of a bagel with butter. I also carried that into my lunchs at work (let alone I started packing them, so that really helped). But for the first moth or so I wouldn't change my dinners, on the amount, to stay within the calorie limit, this way I could still enjoy food I wasn't willing to give up.

Jena Zarroli and I were stuck in the same Spanish class together my freshman year of high school. I guess you could say we bonded over our mutual hatred for it. But I never would've guessed that we'd later go on to become best friends. School ended and summer began, but Jena and I rarely hung out. Not until a few weeks later anyways, when we had the most outrageously funny sleepover I'd had possibly ever. After that we were practically inseparable, so inseparable to the extent that I even started going to work with her to help out. We usually worked late nights. And boy did we goof off. But things got done none the less. Afterwards, I would sleep over at her house.

That’s true, it did suck that she was moving and her last years of high school wouldn’t be at Senior. I also remember wondering if we would still talk. I knew at first we would text each other but I was wondering after she met new friends that she went to school with, if we would still communicate on a regular basis.

My involvement with Best Buddies and UT SEEK (Student Engineers Educating Kids) has strengthened my appreciation for people of different backgrounds and conditions.

I felt so warm even we were just sharing some basic information about ourselves at that time. We became friends and she started to encourage me to make more friends and take part in activities. At first, I was reluctant and then I listened to her. She taught me how to behave good in front of different kinds of people that I never paid attention in my hometown. My life became colorful with her help. I didn’t need to be grieved when telling my parents I am alright because I had a person to pour out my unhappiness. She never complained about my ignorance and always explained everything to me

I can´t remember when we first met, but she was with me ever since. We were both quiet girls, I think that´s why she stayed with me. But she changed. Soon she was not quiet anymore.

Our bond became strong we started hanging out with each other more;within 5 months of hanging out we began going to my house. I got her snacks or even sodas every time I had money. After going through our first official “fight” people began saying she was talking about me behind my back. I shook it off because my inner thoughts were thinking

About two months earlier had signed up for a Camp in Indiana called YMCA Camp Potawotami. My neighbor who is a year younger than me went to camp with me. We got to our summer camp on the Sunday before. I had a lot of fun, but my part of this event, is when the girls in my cabin and I became true friends.

A significant event in our friendship was when we decided to join the rugby team. Trying out for any team, in any grade is nerve-wracking. But trying out for rugby in grade nine is on a whole different level. Rugby was not my first high school sport that I was signing up for, but it was Alison’s. We were both so nervous just to try out, let alone the contact aspect of the sport. We probably told each other that we were not going to go to the try out about five times because we were scared about the sport and trying out for a team as a grade nine. However we both forced each other into going to the tryouts, and we decided that if we did not like the sport then we would

She had shoulder length, dirty blonde hair that was always worn in a ponytail with a maroon headband. She had green eyes with orange around the pupils, her nose was slightly bigger, and her teeth were crooked. Her name is Felicia. We had known each other since second grade, but it was not until the fifth grade that we became friends. We started hanging out after she saw a picture I had drawn of my house and she said, “I want to come over sometime.” Shortly after that we started talking more and more, what felt like 24/7, and seeing each other almost every weekend. We even played soccer together. Felicia and I were so close we shared every secret with each other; I knew everything about her, even a dark secret she had never told anyone. We were so close we were like thing one and thing two from Dr. Seusse’s Cat in the Hat.

During this time we seemed to get even closer. Our other roommates always remarked on our friendship and were jealous of the connection we had. When we saw how lonely others were, we were glad to have each other. We were

It was Tuesday, July 18th. I was a nervous wreck. In desperate need of clothes to wear to impress... her. I begged my best friend Todd to join me at Woodfeild mall. He gave in and we went. Todd and I shopped for hours. Nothing looked good enough for...her. We were running out of time. I made-do with four short sleeve shirts from Champs and two pairs of sweatpants shorts from h&m. The total came out seventy dollars. We walked out and got into Todds car. I was shaking the entire ride home. Will she like it? Am I going to look fat? What about my acne? What if she doesn’t end up liking me? Nothing else crossed my mind as we pulled up to my house and I was dropped off. There was around an hour and a half until I had to leave. I walked inside
