One of the hardest things to do when I came to college was leaving my best friends from home. I have a few amazing friends that could never be replaced. Today I talked to my best girl friend from home for the first time in a few days. When we first met I was in 7th grade and she was in 6th. We met through AAU Basketball. At first we had our differences because our personalities were so different and we were just completely different people. Eventually we just started hanging out more and more until we became best friends. We called each other every day and always had something to talk about. I can still remember the first time I stayed at her house and we went to one of her school dances with a few boys. We always said that nothing would come between us and we would be “friends ‘til the end.” Since I’ve been away at college she has come up to visit a couple times. All of my friends love her and are always asking when she’s coming up for her next visit. Even though we still talk it’s hard because I really miss her and it’s hard to talk to each other every day when you’re living the college life. I feel like college has distanced us a little and I’m scared that it is going to continue to.
When I think about what I could do to help our friendship, there’s a lot I could be doing. I could definitely make more of an effort to keep in touch with her more than just two or three times a week. I know that Reggie and I will always be friends and we will always be here for each other but college has definitely impacted our friendship. We have been through so much together and I can’t see college having that big of an impact on our friendship if we both make an effort to stay in close contact with each other like we have the past six years.
I’m sure you guys know what I’m talking about. Leaving your best friends is one of the hardest things but no matter what I know we will always be friends

I knowwww exactly what you mean. I have some really great friends back at home that know me better than anyone here ever will. My friends from back home and I have this relationship that can never be broken. We all go to different schools, one of us are in delhi, one of us are in buffalo, one of us are in the city, and then i'm here in cortland. However, i have noticed that even though we definitely DO NOT talk to eachother as much as we would like to, it is still the same between us all. After not speaking to them for a couple of weeks, I still feel like I spoke to them yesterday. I love that feeling and that is how I know that we will definitely be friends forever!!!
Hey Dana,
I think everyone can relate to how you feel. That was such a hard thing to do and I was the 2nd one out of my friends to leave. It was so hard. It's annoying though being from Long Island, it's so hard to get home. All of my friends are going home next weekend to see each other and I can't because theres no way for me to do that, without taking a really expensive and long bus! At least Spring Break is soon!
