It’s easy for a college student to fill their trampoline with the wrong people. The
best defense is to guard your heart because there are people out there who want to
pull you down. Everyone has friends for a reason, friends for a season, and friends
for life... In life, if you surround yourself with amazing friends, you’re going to
find yourself jumping higher and higher.
