Noel, unfortunately, was born stuck with me. She is my sister, counselor, built in best friend, and I am her biggest fan. Noel is 8 years younger than I am and when she was born, she was my doll. I have been warning her since she was born that she would be my maid of honor someday (and t god, because I don't know how I'd choose between my amazing friends). I will be there for her until the end of our lives with almost a suffocating amount of support. I love you so much, sister!!!

I found Kortney quiet and over-stimulated at Christian's house after a concert when we lived in Chico. I forced my extroverted chaos onto her and we ended up being roommates and life-long best friends. We've been through absolute thick and thin together - she was once a shy little lady that has since blossomed into an incredible woman that doesn't take any shit and if you're reading this, Kortney, ILYSM!!!!!

I met Isabel through our late best friend, Samantha. Isabel did not like me at first, because she was studying abroad when she heard about me and was mad that I was stealing all of her friends while she was gone. When she finally ~graced~ me with her presence, we immediately hit it off. She and I have been through literal life and death together and Isabel is one of the most important people in my life. I aspire to be as sweet, adventurous, and judgement-free as she is someday, but it probably won't happen because it's impossible.

McKenna came into my life through Kortney. They were big and little in their sorority and I got jealous so I smushed my way into their friendship. Arthur and I were best friends prior to meeting McKenna, and eventually our entire friend group started dating each other... and now we're all.... MARRIED???? Where has the time gone? We were all in each other's weddings and if that ain't special, I don't know what is.

Tessa is the most sarcastic, funniest, most interesting person that I was not planning on becoming best friends with. I met her in nursing school, and became extremely close with her when I realized how loyal and wonderful she is. We've had almost every clinical rotation together and the bond has strengthened to ~crazy~ heights in the last two years. I know that I can trust her with my life and I am so grateful that our ugly school brought us together.

I met Sara while working at Skin Cancer and Dermatology. She and I connected immediately as we both have loud, fiery personalities. Sara is the one who convinced me to go to the nursing school that I ended up at and guided me the entire way through. She is in the cohort above me and single-handedly got me through the program, I really owe my degree to her. Outside of school and work, she is one of the funnest people that I've ever met and makes me laugh my a$$ off. We are always on the same page with each other and I am so grateful that our paths crossed when they did. <3

Hadley sat her quiet, sweet self right next to me at nursing school orientation and we have never once separated since. We share a love for rock-climbing, hiking, wine, and talking smack about our (AWFUL) teachers. Hadley is a genius and helps dumb some of our course-work down for me and I do not know what I'd do without her. I can also trust her with my life and I'm so grateful that our friendship has blossomed and I'll take it as a sign that we will be BFF 5 ever ever.
