Your code is 99% correct. Be careful though, when making the last association, you need to separate through: and :user_friendships
Take a look at my code:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :user_friendships
has_many :friends
has_many :friends, through: :user_friendships
end
This should pass for you
Hope this helps

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :user_friendships
has_many :friends
has_many :friends, through: :user_friendships
end
