Friends of My Own Definition 

According to my definition, there are four kinds of friends in my life. They are best friends deep into the marrow, friends warming me in my memory, friends once standing beside me and friends familiar to me.

Best friends share my happiness as well as sufferings and at the meanwhile I share theirs. We understand each other so well on the account that we are alike in some aspects of thought. Not all the people over the world can own such kind of best friends or friendship. We encounter someone and gradually we find out that he has become essential in our life, or even into the marrow. Being his friend, you happy his happiness and you grieve his grief. If he is in trouble and you can’t do anything for him, you will feel painful in your heart and you would like to take the place to suffer all the pains. If he is outstanding enough, he can set an example for you. Therefore, you will endeavor to catch up with him so as to stand beside him shoulder to shoulder. In a word, a best friend can make you gain enough encouragements to your life, to your aim and to your dream.

I am so fortunate that up till now that I have had two best friends. One is Yolanda, who accompanied with me throughout all my middle school and high senior school. And now we are still best friends. In our words, we have deepened into each other’s marrow that we will never forget our friendship no matter how the world changes. Although we once had conflicts because of our stubbornness, we together got over from the misunderstanding. Then the sky is till blue and the sun is till shining for our friendship. Another one is Wonder, who is the only best friend of my life on campus. For the first eye sight, I was attracted by her modest personality and profound knowledge. She became my spirit guider and I did great efforts to enrich myself as to look at her in equal. Although we are in the same class, we don’t spend much time together. We have each other’s private life and dependent thoughts, but if together, we will feel time flying too swiftly. In our inner hearts, we are friends of spirits but not only in daily life.

Chen was one of friends who warm me in my memory. To tell the truth, I don’t trust him very much because he usually seems to be too exaggerated. But once upon a time, I was in desperations, he did great effort to help me get out of pessimism. He never asked what had happened to me or what upset me, but could only tell humorous stories to amuse me. And I know I myself was the only one who could rescue me, still whenever I think of him, I feel very warm in my heart even if it’s in the cold winter. I thank him and miss him from the bottom of my heart even if we don’t contact very frequently. We have our own life and friends, and he may have forgotten me, but I will never forget his kindness for the rest of my life.

Shi was the first person I met four years ago on my first day in the university. At the first time I came across him on campus, I knew that he would take an important role in my four years’ campus life because he was the first person I met when I was in this strange place. Then my prediction worked. That time I was so lonely because I didn’t want to come out of my inner heart and it was hard for me to get along with those girls at my age. So nearly every Friday I called him and he would see me and we wandered around the lake, talking about literature, campus life, philosophy and each other’s dreams. He stood together with me all through my dark period until my second year when I agreed to the environment and began to be busy. That time, in my heart, he acted like a best friend, a lover and an elder brother. After the first year, we didn't get together very often. But I know he was always there, standing beside me and waiting for me. So whenever I came across problems, he would appear.

The last kind of friends is familiar to me. We may have known each other for a very long time. If necessary, we will chat with each other, go to the library together, but never try to deep into each other’s inner hearts. We are more closed than common friends but less than best friends. They are only familiar friends. No matter in my middle school or on campus, this kind of friends is the largest in number.

I don't know others how to definite "friend", but this is my own definition. And I will be always grateful of them for once appearing in my life.
