Since I graduated two years ago, I feel it is hard to build a good friendship since lacking time being together . I have a few friends who we met in school. They are still studying in university for their master degree.
One of my best friends is my roommate when I was in university. We met few times one year since we are busy with our things, but we do have a very good friendship. We share moments with each other. She is very smart and got great degree of each class, and she got offer from Tongji university which is a top university in China. I admired her, I am not smart. 🙁
We have same feelings about many things including movies, music, and running. What she recommended to me is always exactly what I like.
On the other hand, she is always listening to me whenever I want to complain about my business, which helped me go through bad experiences. She hardly complains about her life, she’s patient to things. However I always rush to everything and lose my temper easily. Sometimes I think I pay more attention to myself and ignore my friends ‘ feelings. She also has many troubles but talks less than me. It’s very lucky to have such a friend for me.

Since I graduated two years ago, I feel it is hard to build a good friendship when I don’t have enough time . I have a few friends from school. They are still studying in university for their master degree.
One of my best friends is my roommate from university. We met a few times this year since we are busy with our things, but we do have a very good friendship. We share our feelings with each other. She is very smart and got good grades for each class, and she got an offer from Tongji University which is a top university in China. I admired her, I am not as smart (as her). 🙁
We have common hobbies such as movies, music, and running. What she recommended to me would always be exactly what I like./ (I would always enjoy her recommendations/suggestions). 
On the other hand, she is a good listener whenever I want to complain about my job, which helped me to go through difficult times. She hardly complains about her life, she’s patient with everyone/ with everything. However I always rush with everything and lose my temper easily. Sometimes I think I pay more attention to myself and ignore my friends’ feelings. She also has many troubles but complains less than me. I feel very lucky to have such a friend like her. for me.
