    Stories about friendship... I made one of the best friends in my life during my Ph.D., and I am so happy that we share everything. Big secrets. Fun hobbies. We help each other with our research projects. But most recently, I was so so lucky that she shared with me the birth of her daughter. Honestly, how many people get to say that? That is some intense sharing.

    I would also like to leave a comment about my sister. Most times it's like we share a common mind. We agree on almost everything. We can't go more than 3 days without talking to each other because we miss each other too much. She is always challenging me.

    I feel very lucky to have such great friends!

  34. Karyn22 July, 2010 18:12

    Qualities of great friends... I would say complete trust and comfort to be whoever you are when you are together. But who also drives and motivates you to constantly improve yourself. And someone who you feel natural being around and talking to really really often. People who you are comfortable just being silent around, and who wants to be around even when nothing exciting is happening.

    A good friend is someone who is always there for you, no matter if you have a good or a bad day. Where you can stay yourself. Someone who respects everything you do, even though she has maybe not exactly the same interests.
