It's Like a Whole New World

G came to visit this past weekend. I hadn't seen her since we graduated college, which was freaking 7 years ago. It was so fantastic to be able to catch up with her. It felt like we hadn't missed a beat. She got me thinking about how much I miss my college friends so I decided to take her advice and join Facebook. I didn't think I'd get in touch with so many old friends in such a short amount of time! In the last couple of days, I think I've reconnected with at least 10 friends from way back when. I'm so nostalgic!!!

The good thing about having gone away for school is that I was able to learn how to be independent and experience life not only in a new city, but an entirely different country. I got to meet so many people from all over the world. The awful thing about this is exactly that. They're from all over the world which means they're not near me! I envy my Boston friends who went to school here and still maintain close ties with their college buddies. I'm sure they wish they could have gone away to school like I did though. The grass is always greener, right?

I'm just thankful that I've been able to get in touch with so many people that shaped 4 of the most important years of my life. Now, if I could only get them all to move to Boston.
