I'll be going to college far away from my hometown in the fall and i want to know from people who are either in thier junior/senior year of college or who are already out of college, are you still close with your high school friends? because I am really really scared, I love my friends soo much and I don't want to forget about them, but all the adults I've talked to have said that you don't really stay close with your high school friends. My best friend is going to the same college I am so I'm not worried about us, but all of my other friends are going to be really far away. I just get really freaked out when I think about it. i dont want to loose them, most of my friends i've known since first grade. I just want to know how good your relationships with your high school friends are now that you've been thru college.[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post angelofmusic22 Posted at 8:55 pm on April 18, 2008 Soo I've been wondering about this for a while.

Replies HuffleHaire Posted at 9:10 pm on April 18, 2008 I hope to continue my friendships with a few people when college happens. Not everyone, I know that's too much to ask. But I'm sure that if it could work out, it will. HatesYou Posted at 9:06 pm on April 18, 2008 there are times when you just have to let go of those you love. everyone's finally going off on their own, so it'll be hard to keep in touch with high school buddies while working toward a successful career. nevertheless, this is not impossible. there are people who, similar to your situation, have remained best friends for ever and some change. if you're really worried about losing your friends, then just try working hard toward keeping in touch. phone numbers, e-mails, instant messaging, and other technical utilities help solve this problem. i truly understand where you're coming from, for i am also a soon-to-be high school graduate. i go into college this September as a freshmen, thrilled of the experiences that lie ahead, rather than the fun i've left behind. just try looking at things from a completely different perspective. i wish you the best of luck dontstopnow Posted at 9:05 pm on April 18, 2008 Honestly, you will not be as close with all them as you are now. However, when you all get back together it makes your time together really exciting to get to catch up on everyone's lives. Seidell Posted at 9:02 pm on April 18, 2008 My best friend recently died back in January of this year, I knew him since 1st grade. He attended a Community College (was going to graduate in June of this year,) and was going to transfer over to the University I attend this Fall.            My girlfriend Julie, we grew up together as well and were friends throughout High School, we just recently started dating. She goes to the same College I attend. So yea, my girlfriend now. That's it. cuttergirl13 Posted at 9:02 pm on April 18, 2008 its called growing up... you're going to lose some of your friends... Another Chance Posted at 8:58 pm on April 18, 2008 High school friends are my closest friends. I make new close friends in college and at work as well. All 6 previous replies displayed.
