The Positive Influence of Friends in College: A Personal Journey

It's important to recognize the impact our friends have on our overall college experience. While it's valid to express frustrations with some friends, it's equally important to highlight the positive influence of true companions who support and inspire us.

Introduction to the Duality of College Friendships
