    One thing I really got used to about college was how close everyone else was: I could hang out with friends, like, whenever I wanted.

Enjoy that while it lasts. I haven't seen my best friend in a little over a month, he's coming to town tonight and we are going to get drunk and see Star Wars, possibly in that order, possibly not.

In primary and secondary school, you're thrown together with a bunch of people, might as well be friendly with them. In college, you get to choose who you hang out with a bit more, but they're all close at hand. Then you graduate, people live all over the gorram PLANET, and on top of that they have JOBS. That's when you not only choose who you WANT to see, but you have to actively seek them out.
