I took this picture very early on.. maybe a week in, and look how close we all are with each other already! I love this picture because it teaches me that even though it is hard to be away from home, it is easy to make friends if you just put yourself out there. I feel really lucky to have such a strong group of people to be living in Rome with. This makes me excited for the future because i know not only that i will have all these friends but also that i will be able to make an abundance of friends at Charleston as well.
