Opening
EIGHT OF US
College was supposed to be about finding yourself.
At least, that's what everyone said.
Nobody mentioned accidentally finding seven people who would slowly become your entire world.
It started with missed classes, borrowed notes, awkward introductions, and one too many coffee runs. Somewhere between late-night study sessions, spontaneous road trips, stolen hoodies, and conversations that lasted until sunrise, eight strangers became something more.
They weren't related.
They didn't always agree.
And sometimes, they drove each other completely insane.
But somehow, they became home.
This is the story of eight college students, their friendships, their mistakes, their first loves, and all the moments in between.
Because sometimes the best part of growing up...
is finding the people you're meant to grow up with. 🤍
I tighten my grip on my bag and walk toward the campus.
