My $5,000 friends

I was talking to a coworker yesterday about tuition, and being in debt for college. I ended up paying for the equivalent of a year's tuition, for my room & board & etc. And I was telling her how it was tot worth it, even though I could've lived with my parents, because I wouldn't have made friends (or made friends in the same way) if I hadn't lived on campus. All of a sudden it hit me, that I went in debt to make friends. If you take out the costs of books and the extra expense of going overseas and stuff, I figure it cost me about $5,000 for each great friend that I made. You know, give or take a few thousand. Girls, it was worth every dollar.
