friends
This past weekend I went home and I realized that my life has changed so much in this past year. See a lot of my friends are still in high school, because when I was in my youth group in high school a lot of the kids just happened to be younger than me. I still have my college friends but as everyone knows not everyone is going to be home the same weekend you are going to be home. But last weekend one of my college friends from my youth group was home so I hung out with her for most of the weekend and we were talking about how we are almost done with our freshman year of college and how it was crazy that we were so scared of it during the summer. It was so nice because we went through almost eh exact same experience because we were the only ones from our youth group going to public universities in Illinois, and that scared us a lot because we really didn’t know a ton of people, but we made it through. After I hung out with her she had to leave to go back to school, because she was on spring break, I hung out with some of my younger friends and that just really showed how much different high school is than college. High school is filled with drama and gossip and I just felt that I was over it and I didn’t care about whatever was going on. But I think that it’s so weird because two of my best friends are in high school and it just seems so different. I love them to death but I think that it’s weird that we are so close because we are in two different worlds. I mean they will soon be in the “world” I’m in and it really won’t make a difference a couple years can make. I think that people who say that you are too old to hang out with a person are wrong, no matter how much the age difference is it is about how well the person gets you and is willing to try to understand you and listens to you and vice versa.

people do change but i agree with you.. you need a friend who there is to listen to you.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more, you learn so much while you're on your own and gain a certain sense of maturity when you go away to school.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was weird every time that I went home from college. It's weird because while I was in high school, I felt such a connection with everyone my age in my town. I felt like I saw someone I knew and could talk to every time I went out. But now, I feel like I couldn't just do that. I feel like I've lost a connection with many of the people from my graduating class and I feel like it would be awkward just to ask them how they're doing.
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda sad how people grow apart like that, especially when you were pretty good friends in high school. I know that happened to me. I definitely agree with the whole high school drama thing. It's so overdone. It's nice to people learn to grow up in college. We won't be kids forever!
ReplyDeleteI always got kind of sad when I went home. I would visit my high school and hardly know anyone. Since graduating, the relationships that I had with my friends has changed as we all went our separate ways. We all still keep in touch, but I feel like such a grown up sometimes. I totally agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI had a large group of friends in high school and when most of us graduated, a lot of us changed. It happened with the ones in high school too, and unfortunately some for the worst. I only have two real friends back at home and very few now in general. It's weird how it happens. But I totally agree about high school vs college. I'm so over high school drama.
