Giving Thanks to Friends

I’ve been through three quarters of a semester here at WNEC, and I can’t believe how fast it flew by! It’s almost Thanksgiving, and there’s so much to do! We’re getting ready to go home, but still have a lot of work to still get through, not to mention FINALS! On the plus side there’s plenty of fun to have too. By now you will most likely have a solid group of friends you are always with, hanging out with or having your own fun traditions with. Bonds are forming, and soon you will be leaving each other for a whole month! It is weird to think that your high school friends you were sad to leave a few short months ago are the ones you will be going home to. But, your new college friends, you will soon be leaving. Some of my friends and I are planning to visit each other over break, and introduce our home friends and our college friends. You may not realize you are forming bonds that can last a lifetime. Make the most of each friendship you make. Give everyone a fair chance to make your day a little better. The more support you have at school and at home, the better off you will be. Put in that extra effort to take that friendship to the next level. Invite a good friend home for the weekend to meet your family, and if you’re invited home to someone else’s house, try to go. At the same time, enjoy your time at WNEC together. After all, WNEC is what brought you together, so spending time here can be most beneficial to growing friendships. As always, good luck with the college search and have a happy and safe holiday season!
