Friends

I know I already talked about friends in one of my other posts but I feel the need to talk about them more. When I was at school I was always surrounded by friends and it was awesome. Now that I am home, all those friends are hours away. It is very saddening. I miss them lots and I know they miss me. The sad part is that we are all busy, with jobs, summer school, and family that even if we wanted to get together, it is hard. My one friend, is better at it than my all my other friends. She knows that we are all busy but still really wants to make plans with all of us! She is the one that is also keeping me sane. After being home for awhile now, I have noticed which of my friends are really my friends. There are some who text, ask about things and want to make plans. Then there are the ones who do not text you unless it is in a group message setting. They do not even seem to care what is happening in your life. I really have a dislike for these people. You would think that because they are your friends, they would want to know what is happening with you since you have been apart...but no they just go on with their lives and forget about you. This is where those awesome friends come in, they feel the same way and they make you feel better about your feelings. Okay, now to talk about friends from high school. When you leave for college and come back, you really find out who your true friends were. Granted that I did not have a ton of friends in high school, I still saw which ones were truly my friends. The best case is my best friend still! We kept in touch all the way through the year and hung out when we could, since she was like 13 hours away! There were other people that kept in touch with me, like ones I played sports with or was just close to in general. There were others who I lost complete touch with and still have not talked to. These people were not truly my friends. So friends play a big role in the difference between home and school... The ones you were around in college are not near you and you lost some friends from high school.
