A survey about friends after high school. -- LiveWire College Forums

I graduated in 2003 with the younger grade of the double cohort in Ontario. I'm now in university in BC. I haven't seen or heard from most of my classmates from high school since prom, though I have kept in touch with my closest friends. There are five of them. And through them I've heard about how a few of my old classmates are doing, or I've seen some of them. But things are different now. I have had different social groups every year so far here. But I've made some new close friends.

As for my five friends back home, one of them has finished her degree and is working at a radio station in a small town near Toronto, I saw her last Christmas, and at 2004-5 New Year's, and in the summer of 2004 since leaving. One of my friends will be finishing her degree this year and I think she plans on doing a year of Bible college next year. She doesn't communicate much with the other 4, but she does communicate with two or three other people who I knew. I've seen her last summer, and the summer before since leaving.

One of my friends is at a university in my hometown doing a similar degree to what I'm doing. I think she'll be done next year (I'm going to take another two years because I'm also an athlete). I've seen her last Christmas, last summer, 2004-5 New Year's, and summer 2004 since leaving. Two of my friends go to the same university and are in the same program, but not the same classes. They've been meeting each other once a week for lunch. I've seen one of them last Christmas, last summer, 2004-5 New Year's and summer 2004, and the other one at the same times plus once in March of 2004.

So, ya, I don't see them much, and our infrequent emails that used to be about 3 months apart have grown to be about every time I come home (Christmas and summer). We're not as close as we used to be, but it is a lot of fun to catch up and to see each other when we are in the same city at the same time.

My sister, who graduated last year, is still in contact with her best friend. Her best friend went to the same elementary school as she did, but they went to different high schools. If my sister had decided to stay home for university, they'd be in the same program together and probably the same classes (since it is a small program). But she decided to go somewhere else for various reasons. Her best friend and her will probably remain best friends for a long time, despite their distance, because they've already had 4 years apart.

Thanks for the wasted time.
