Throughout lives one may gain and lose friendships as\u00a0 lives change and move on. True friends can be traveling different paths but are still connected at heart.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From crazy pictures together, wild memories, family at heart, and partners in crime, friends have memories together from when they were little. Sophomore Brianna Kintzel said she enjoyed going to the fair to watch her friend show horses. Others have memories from just this past year.\u00a0 Junior Sarah Rundle said, \u201cSeeing Turbo together and we’re the only ones in the theater. It was fun and it was the first time either of us had been the only ones in the theater.\u201d<\/p>\n

Out of all the memories that friends have throughout the year together, there is usually one that stands out more than the others. Sophomore Sabrina Haines said, \u201cThe day before we left Montana, Hunter and I, plus our siblings, were playing in the creek they have by their house. Not only is it freezing cold because it comes from the mountains, but it is so hard to get up once you fall. When my dad decided to be a genius and dunk Hunter underwater, and I sorta stepped on his back to help my dad… Afterwards, Hunter did not dunk me once, or twice – oh no, he got me three times, and everyone knew I did not want anything but my ankles to get wet. It was a good memory, though, even if I did want to kill him afterwards – it’s part of having a good friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to hanging out with friends who knows what is going to happen; \u00a0Sophomore Tailer Smerekanich said, \u2018\u2018Doing crazy things that boys do like dirt bikes, truck, and ride horses then just go hangout with friends.\u201d Rundle said, \u201cTalk and watch movies and make iMovies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keeping in touch with friends after high school is not always easy; everyone takes\u00a0 separate paths. Sometimes\u00a0 individuals are lucky\u00a0 to stay in touch with the closest high school friends even after school has ended. Junior Faith Hutchens said, she and her friends have stayed, \u201ctogether for 11 years and I don’t think anything will really come between us. She may live farther away than ever before, but will always stay in touch with each other.”<\/p>\n

Keeping a friendship and not letting bad blood get between two people is not always easy, but it is worth it. Keeping a friendship strong is not always easy either. Smerekanich said, \u201cJust be yourself and always have trust in each other.\u201d Junior Kathryn Hickman said, \u201cMainly just try not to let little things break up your friendship, and just remember why you became friends in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Some friendships are hard to put into words, but Haines tried to define it when she said, \u201cTrustworthy, I chose this word because she and I trust each other and she knows that she can tell me anything no matter what it is. I am always the first person to hear about it if there is something wrong.\u201d Haines has been friends with someone who lives in Montana for fifteen and a half years.<\/p>\n
