The effect of College on Friendships

It's sort of sad, being more of a "forced separation" kind of situation, but I think it will somehow even out. When your friends go into totally different faculties than you, it's hard having to suck it up and not be able to see them anywhere near as often as HS.

I mean, it's sort of odd for me, as "hello" friends from high school have become more of "let's meet up once in a while" kind of friends. Sadly, that's the same thing that's happened with some of my closer friends though. You do get a chance to meet new people, but then your old friendships start to fade away, if you don't constantly see each other.

If you have really good friends, then a nice long chat about what's happened over the past few months of not seeing each others can be really refreshing. You don't have to always meet up to still have a sense of closeness.

I too, don't live off-campus/in residence since Mcmaster University is just a bus ride away. It's your choice really. If you think pursuing your new friendships more closely than your old treasured ones is better, then go for it.
If you would rather invest more time into relationships that you really want to preserve, then that's great too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
