I was at dinner today when I saw a good friend of mine walking to her table. I've been friends with this girl for a few years & when I decided to come to Stephens she was overjoyed. She swore that we would hang out all the time & that we would have the time of our lives together. But when we made eye contact, neither of us went to talk to the other. We didn't even smile at each other. We ignored the fact that the incident even happened. & that's what got me wondering if we are even considered friends by the world's standards.
What happened between my friend & me today is not a unique situation. College does this to people. Everyone says that they are going to stay BFFs until the end of time, but as soon as the last diploma is given at graduation & everyone goes their separate ways things change. It's a fact of life. Some friends stick around for the whole show, others get up & leave at intermission. I have a friend that I have known since we were four year olds at Wednesday night church services & we talk everyday. Tonight's dinner was bound to happen eventually & I just need to not let it get to me. I have so many new friends now the I don't know what to do with myself.
Things are going to be ok. I'm going to be ok.
