One of October's topics for the Book of Me challenge was about friendship. I chose to do a layout on my best friend from college. There is a little booklet of journaling inside the file folder:
Shruti Singh was the first new friend I made when I started college at Purdue University. She and I shared the same calculus class, and we struck up a conversation one day before class. After chatting for awhile, she suggested that we work on our homework together sometime. It wasn’t long until we became fast friends and were virtually inseparable.
Shruti lived with her family in a little house off-campus. I became such a familiar presence at her house that her family began to speak to me in their native Hindi without even realizing it. We enjoyed many fun sleepovers at her house, sharing everything from the latest campus gossip to our innermost thoughts and dreams.
Shruti was one of the sweetest and most genuine people I had ever met. She would do anything for a friend and had a very generous spirit. She was intelligent and had a great sense of humor. I felt grateful to have such a wonderful friend!
After our freshman year, we both joined the engineering co-op program at Purdue. This meant that we would be working off-campus and hundreds of miles away from each other every other semester until graduation. At first, our friendship remained strong. While we were co-oping, we called each other regularly and of course talked through email. We even met halfway once to spend a fun weekend together. When we returned to campus after each co-op session, we picked up our friendship right where it had left off.
But after our second co-op session, Shruti made the choice to quit the co-op program and remain in school full-time. I continued co-oping, and we gradually began to grow apart after that point. She moved ahead in her studies, so that we were no longer in the same classes when I was on campus. As often happens in college, we both changed over the years and made other friends. By the time she graduated, we just didn’t have much in common anymore. But I still think back and smile at the great times we shared. I miss her, and I am thankful that our paths in life crossed for even a brief time.
