Closest friends

These are the four students I hung out with most and got the closest to:
Colin-
He is a sophomore and is a very caring, fun, and loving guy. We became very close on this trip, sharing problems and stories about home, friends, and relationships. We gave each other a lot of massages---I am grateful to find someone who loved them as much as me and didn't care if we did them all the time--score!! After getting to know Colin, I knew I could count on him for anything and everything. He was such a great guy, he gave me a lot of sarcasm, but I dished it right back. He unfortunately is transferring to William and Mary (he got in the last day we were in NZ-such excitement that day). I am so proud of him, sad that he is leaving, but excited for him to start something new!
Colin is part of band called Dreams of University. He plays guitar and is sick beat-boxer. His band is pretty successful-he has done many concert is multiple states and at many universities, however, his singer has recently resigned. The band did just pick up a new singer, but at this time they are not performing and on a hold. Colin's style is pretty punk, he does own and wear girls pants (which came in handy one evening when I needed his white pants in Sydney because I could wear his). He also loves the artist Childish Gambino who is a rapper and great one liners in his songs. He had a severe mohawk too when we go to Lennox until his hair grew out.
Colin is a great listener and always there to comfort, support, and help me and any other student. Lots of the students went to him to talk and he was always waiting with a hug. He is a very psychologically focused individual and helped a lot of students with issues/problems they were having with bf/gf/emotions.
Abby-
She is my cabin-mate and a junior at BSU. She was my assistant who helped me a lot over the semester. We started out sharing a room since one of the cabins wasn't ready when we arrived and two other students lived in my cabin, but once they moved out, Abby and I decided to still live together and just have a spare room. I liked having someone to talk to right before bed and some always there. She was a mom to the whole group and me. She did a lot of the cleaning and cooking in my cabin when I would be running around taking care of things. She talked her mom 2-3x/day on skype and her mom became my mom. Her mom would send Abby, Colin, and I packages for all the holidays and for no reason at all---so sweet!! Abby was a worry wort though--she always expected the worst and was not a huge risk taker, but she grew a lot this semester. She stepped out of her comfort zone and backpacking trips and even camped a few times in a van when we traveled in NZ. I look forward to the dinners and sleepovers we plan to have next fall.

Casey-
She is freshmen who was very competitive and loved soccer and volleyball. She is very sweet girl, I went over to cabin 1 one morning and crawled into her bed with her. Shes quite tiny but hugging and cuddling with her is perfect because when standing she fits right under my chin! She can rest on my chest and I can place my chin on her head--we fit like a puzzle. She also loved to play scrabble as do I which is great. We had a long over 2 hr conversation one day when we kayaked on the lake talking about relationships and future plans. She unfortunately is transferring as well, however, she is just going to St. Francis in Indiana so I will be able to see her still.

Cami-
She is a tall, red head senior who loves biology. She is such a warm person though she is very opinionated. She loves to snuggle and play chef! She is a very religious individual though very comfortable with her sexuality (smacked my behind a few times when I wasn't even that close to her yet). Her cinnamon apples were the best and he made an awesome pineapple upside down cake mmmmmm!
