Buddy Spotlight 🫂 ➡️ ~Diamond

Finally! After four hectic weeks of exams, I’m back—and officially free to spend the rest of my summer writing my heart out and posting as much as I want. That being said, and without further ado, let’s dive into today’s spotlight.

It’s Monday, and you know what that means: it’s time to highlight someone special in my life. And who better to kick off the first Buddy Spotlight of the summer—and wrap up my first year in college—than Diana, one of the people I’m most grateful to have met in university, and arguably the most important person I met in my first semester.

Diana is a rare blend of sass and tomboy charm. She’s just as likely to punch your shoulder as she is to flick her hair in your face, depending on the situation. With her decisive nonchalance, lazy-tomboy fashion sense, and playful aggression—balanced out by her feminine charm, disarmingly cute smile, and fun-loving nature—she’s the ideal homegirl: all the pros of a female homie, none of the cons. Throw in her love for movies, video games, and sports, and you’ve got the complete package.

👌

But a friendship with Diana goes deeper than just having someone fun to vibe with (at least from my experience). Her unusually high level of social intelligence makes her the perfect person to be around most of the time. No one else I’ve met reads people as naturally as she does—she just gets people. She sees past surface-level flaws and connects with the real person underneath. She's my go-to person anytime I need social advice, and you can bet she always delivers (well… at least when she feels like it 😅). And the best part? She’s always willing to help—right after she frustrates the life out of you and makes you question why you asked her in the first place. 😂

I honestly can’t express how thankful I am to have a friend like Diana. If you’re reading this (which I highly doubt, knowing you), shoutout to you for walking into my life—and making it all the more chaotic and amazing. 😁
