What did I learn today?You can never underestimate the power of friendship. Throughout my college years, I had the privilege of developing friendships that are dear to my heart.
Now that we all are in separate parts of the country, I know that they will always be my “G3 sisters”. Tonight they really pulled through when I texted them some words of my frustration with life and they responded with encouragement mixed in with humor and wittiness. I may have cried tears of laughter...
What is a G3er? Good question. A "G3er" is a female student who had or is currently living on the third floor of Gilbert Hall at LeTourneau University. Get it? Gilbert hall + 3rd floor = G3. Since LeTourneau does not have sororities, floor unity is pretty much what makes up the community at LeTourneau. I lived on G3 for three years and these ladies were my suitemates/roommates/bff and now they are my life long friends. Being an only child, I learned the beauty of sisterhood through their friendships. This lesson I have come to value in hopes of working in residence life when I graduate from grad school in May.
I lurve them to death.
Thank you, G3 sisters, for being there to watch TV and eat buckets of cookie dough when we should’ve been doing our homework during our college years. I long for the day when we reunite and talk into the wee hours of the morning about boys, work, Gilmore Girls, food, and how certain people can pull off skinny jeans.
Bottom line: Take advantage of the friendships you have. You never know when you are going to need encouragement and support...or someone to joke about how Hanson sounds like a bunch of girls.
That’s what one of the things I learned today.
Are you taking your friendships for granted?
Aaaaww. I read this on my lunch break and it made me happy. I miss all of us together. There is one thong you got wrong though. Hanson does not sound like a bunch of girls.
