This badge isn't the most exotic, and none of mine really are, but brings back a great memory.
When I was a freshman in high school, I had to almost entirely rebuild my friend group as most of my friends from middle school went to a different high school than me. Luckily, my friends from middle school that did go to the same high school as me also had friends who would be attending our high school. From there I became the friend of a friend. While we started out as acquaintances, one of the sweetest and most outgoing people I know wanted to have a picnic in a park downtown during Labor Day since we wouldn't be having school. I was anxious since I didn't know all the people, but looking back on it now, I'm so glad I went. We all brought our own lunches and something little to share. Since my mom was on-call at the hospital, she had to go in and brought be along since it would be on the way to my picnic. I look back on that day as the day where I moved from acquaintance to friend with a lot of the girls that I love and still talk to today even though we all went to different colleges. During that picnic we got to do crazy things like roll down a grassy hill, play catchphrase, and just talk. Thinking back on it now, I can't believe how much the six or so crazy nerdy girls we were back then have grown and become better friends. We've been through a lot together since then, and I hope we get to make a lot more memories in the future.
Do you still have a friend or group of friends that you've known for a while?
