Saying goodbye...for the second time

As freshman, we come to school not really knowing anyone. Sometimes, especially if you are moving far from home, it can be a hard transition to make. Often times, we leave our friends back home, and we come to school and are forced to meet new people. Eventually, we establish what I like to call a “set group of friends.” You hang out with people outside of this group as well, but you always have that one group, just like at home. That one group of friends is the people you can always count on to make you laugh and are the “go to people” for plans on Friday nights.

If you were to transfer out of school after your first year, you have to start all over again. The transition period begins all over again. They say when you transfer you have to establish a new group of friends. Thankfully, I’m not transferring because I love St. Johns. However, I can’t say the same about my friends. I’m not even transferring but my transition period sophomore year will begin all over again.

For very silly reasons, a majority of my friends are leaving me in May when the school year is all over. I just have to say that I am really upset about this. Of course, I love my friends and that’s why I’m mad/upset, but what makes me even crazier, is the fact that I am forced to make new friends. Obviously I was planning on doing so anyway, but not this much! I have my set group of friends and my “go to” people on Friday night. I don’t want to have to find new go to people. This is just not fair :(
