I am sure I am not the only freshmen feeling this way about there friends from home. After all, we are all growing up and maturing into the adult people we are destined to be, and I do not think this is necessarily a bad thing. Even though I do not feel as close to the friends I have known forever, I still want to maintain my friendships with them. I think it is very important to have a large variety of friends and friendships. Talking to friends on Ichat and having them visit from the weekend at SMU are all ways that can help.
I am excited to go back home for December break and see my friends. Maybe this long break can help us get back into our groove.
