Lately, I have been having many deep conversations with my friends. I don't know if we have just been in the mood lately, or if perhaps the looming life-changing decisions surrounding college have made us sentimental, but we have covered a variety of topics. I think it's nice that I have close friends that I can respectfully and confidentially converse with. For instance, one evening, two friends and I discussed politics for over an hour. It turned out that they were both the opposite political party than what I identify with, and yet I did not feel uncomfortable at all. We were able to respectfully discuss our views, and I think this has a lot to do with the fact that we are IB kids. I value their opinions very much and I think it's cool that we feel comfortable opening up to eachother.
IB upper-level thinking for the win!
