Amigos

Every American TV series I saw dealt with how important friendships were, such as Sex in the City, Friends, and Full House.

These three TV series I think of as my education to American culture. Full House was a staple in my family. Our family quoted Joey on a daily basis. "Cut, It, Out"

One theme that really stuck with me was the idea that white people-americans valued their friends, A LOT. It seemed they really didn't like their families and only saw them during the holidays but their friends they loved, they treated them like family. I remember one phrase often quoted in each series was "Friends are the family you get to pick."

So having this idea in my head... I always put a strong emphasis on acquiring these long lasting friendships I saw on TV. But after I graduated grade school without any strong relationships (I did move to 4 different elementary schools) I thought high school would definitely be it. Then High school came and went and I came out with two friends... and one doesn't even talk to me anymore..... granted that is another blog. Then Undergrad, came out with two. And now here we are .... first year of law school and I don't really have that group, like I saw in the TV series.... does that not exist?

Hey I definitely do not want to come out like I am complaining cause I gotta love the friends I have. I am just trying to explain how an idea I have had for so long... seems to been silly to try to achieve...
