summing it up.

Its taken me since January to see how much things have truly changed since high school last June. I've spent plenty of time with my friends first semester to think they had only changed a tiny amount but now that I don't see them but ever few months I see differently. I've learned that they try to be he same people they use to be whenever they're around me and their old friends but they really are so far from that person that they can't even see it themselves. Maybe you've never gone through a change this drastic or maybe you're like I was and can't see it yet but college truly is where your life ends and a new one begins. I don't mean you physically die but the person you use to be does and you turn into someone else. Someone completely different. Lately I've been noticing this with every single one of my friends minus a few. Some have gone against their beliefs and started drinking to fit in, some just rebelled and drink all the time, some sleep with different guys all the time and some are just moving on win their lives. It never occurred to me exactly how much we all grew apart until the conversations were all about who drinks the most or where to go clubbing or, even worse, the entire conversation is all small-talk. Nobody wants to grow apart from the friends they have had for years but I guess that's life. Life goes the way it wants and your just along for the ride. You can't choose where you'll end up or who wig because change is inevitable. However, I'm hoping that some of those changes will bring those now-distant friends close to me again either now or in the future.
