Dys-functional groups

Friends are an important part of any college experience, and choosing the right ones can make or break how good your time at college turns out. I was sitting in class today, minding my own business, going through the study guide in my group, when, some girl asked to sit next to me. She asked me some really inappropriate questions, and was extremely crude. The kid in my study group then proceeded to tell me that the girl was his friend. I kept on going through the study guide for chemistry, and ignored the girl for the rest of the class period.

Having that very uncomfortable experience made me realize how much I appreciate the good friends I have. I have come to see my friends as an extension of who I am because much of me has been and always will be influenced by them and will influence them as well. I'm not usually a "holier-than-thou" kind of person, and I'm not saying that those kids from my chemistry class were bad people, I just think that having good, respectful friends is priceless.

I am thankful for my beautiful girlfriend who always supports me. I think in someways, having her around has helped me improve myself. Having her good company has impacted me in a way that even my family notices the difference between who I was and who I am.

Also, if you're wondering why i put a dash in-between "dys" and "functional", it is because it is ironic that I was studying functional groups in chemistry during the horrible occurrence.
