Best Friends?

We promised to remain best friends forever. I remember saying that we would never change and would remain the best friends we had always been. Coming back for my week long Thanksgiving vacation sadly I do not still feel the same about my best friends from high school. It was amazing seeing them and hearing about how there college experiences were going, but something was different. Being at different schools in different states all across the country has in some ways started to destroy my friendships. 
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.

I can somewhat relate to New Kid on the Block's blog. It was so much fun to come back home and seeing all my friends. The friends that went to a four year university like I did, I felt like I could relate more towards them because I had stories to tell about my experience and I could relate to my friends stories. But my friends that went to a community college or didn't go to college at all, I felt like there was less to talk about. I still charish them and hope one day they will be able to experience the same thing that I am able to experience right now.
