About Friendship 2

When entering the 3rd semester, my three friends separated by me in the semester 1 and 2. because we have different classes. Initially this was very disturbing to me because I find it hard to interact with others. I am a type of person who does not easily socialize. But somehow I think that I need a friend in the class.

At that time, I have 1 friends close, but we were only limited to the proximity of a college friend. When the lecture ended we came home, respectively. We never go to the mall or just gather both both like I did with my best friend in the semester 1 and 2.

At the end of the semester I and a friend of mine is beginning to socialize with other friends, we started very comfortable because they accept me well. Them were a bunch of college kids who love to get together and play together.

But they did not like my previous companions who love to spend money. They are more concerned with gathering without having to waste a lot of money just to eat at the cafe luxury suites.

I started to feel Yemen with them, I can be myself even for the first time I dared to sing in public with them. Whereas before I was a child who is quite introverted and shy.

Until now I consider them a good friend to me. When I'm happy or distress, eight of them have always helped me. And I guess that's what friends are for real.
