While I know that every friend I make can’t be a foxhole buddy, I’m at an interesting point in my life where I suddenly won’t be in quite as close proximity with some of the people I currently consider my close friends. After graduation we will have to put much more effort into maintaining our relationship, and that’s when I think the foxhole buddies will truly reveal themselves. Those who still put in the time to make sure we talk and stay in touch, and the friends who I know still want to check in on me are the people who will become my foxhole buddies.
During a time that’s leading up to so much change, it’s important to have a support system you know you can rely on. I’m thankful to have family and friends who I trust, and who I know care about me. Hopefully this has given you a chance to reflect on your own foxhole buddies as well, maybe take some time today to reach out to them and let them know how much you appreciate them. Letting someone know you care can prove that you’re a foxhole buddy for them too.
