“I feel loved and appreciated by my friends and family when my friends check up on me and make plans with me. Even when we’re both busy, we still make time to hang out even if it’s just at school for a little bit. What we do depends on the friend and different friends make you feel appreciated for different things. For example, some of my friends I’ll play tennis with and we’ll practice together and with others I’ll go on drives with and get food, and with my long distance friends — especially seniors from last year — we’ll text a lot and check in on each other all the time. I try to spend time individually with different people because I really value quality time. When you spend quality time together with someone one-on-one, you get to know somebody better than you would otherwise. I try to be somebody that people can open up to and I think that happens a lot more one on one.”
