To have friends like Rita. Who listens to your crazy stories and laughs with you, and not directly at you. Who is not afraid to go out and have a drink that we've never even thought of trying before. Who will eat with you until you both have sufficient belly aches. Who will be completely direct and upfront with every single bartender/waiter that overheard our conversation.
We had an incredibly fun night. At the Cheesecake Factory after 4 hours of class, and a half hour of BSing with Christine in the lobby of Hagedorn. Mac's and Cheese. Guacamole. Martini's. Surprise concoctions from Adam, the bartender, who couldn't help but comment on every single thing we talked about.
It's times like that when you realize how lucky you are to have such fun, amazing, outgoing, brilliant friends like Rita.
Love you girl.
