My Friendship Experience

In life we don't know what relationship will stick for long or even a lifetime, all we got to do is enjoy each and every moment in any relationship we find ourselves in, cherishing it till it ends or continues cherishing if the blooming never fades away.

This is a photograph of me and friends back in school

The four us were in the same academic department (department of microbiology). And at the beginning of my tertiary academic experience, I never knew I will be friends with them especially Sharon and Merit but life happened and fate is just so good at joining people together.

I got admitted into the department of microbiology (b.sc degree) in the year 2015, late 2015 precisely. Being fresh out of secondary school and mummy's girl my mum was scared of me going into the tertiary institution alone, so for the first week of my academic year in school, my sister accompanied me as my guardian Angel.
I met my friend mercy during my medical clearance in school, one of the sunny days in November 2015. We were both in a queue and she was the second person behind me, we did engage in a little conversation as well as others in the queue.
We were among the last persons that gained entrance into the school's medical center so we were not able to finish our medical tests that day being Friday so we had to come back the following week Monday.

And again! I saw mercy this time we talked at length and in the course of our discussion I discovered will both gained admission into the same department. We exchanged contacts the same way I exchange contacts with other folks especially those I discovered to be my coursemates. It ended with just exchanging contacts, saying a hi, and hello with me and most of them but for me and mercy it blossomed into a beautiful friendship for the rest of our academic years.

What prompted me to write this piece is because Mercy celebrated her birthday three days back and one of the compliments I gave her was "you have been good." Because throughout our friendship she has really been good. We did have our differences but we do sort them out amicably. And I left school making two best friends and mercy is amazingly one of them.
In early 2017 during our second semester, she brought about my friendship with Sharon and Merit (who are two best friends). I did knew both of them as just cool girls in my department, though I had an encounter with Sharon during our 100L when I offered her help when she needed someone to put her through the school screening process.
Thanks to my ambivert friend mercy, I was able to know these two amazing souls.

Something about what my friendship with these girls taught me is that nobody is perfect. I have seen situations where people get pissed off by a friend and they decide to end the friendship so easily. I know we all the have our limits but ending a friendship because a friend little ill act of misbehavior is petty to me

You are not friends with someone until you both get into a big fight and makeup

I don't know who made this rule as I have heard this word quite a number of times. Yes, having misunderstandings do bring out the real attitude of people but getting into a big fight and making up doesn't really prove the strength of friendship. The friends I have little or no misunderstandings with have actually been the best and we work well together.

Finally, before I end this piece I will love to drop a wish to my friend mercy. My fellow Taurus born.

Happy Birthday dear
Though it in arrears
But I just want to say I love you
Wishing you the very best
And no matter what stumbling blog you do face
Always know you are going to get there
For you are that star that we keep shinning
