Relationships

During elementary school, middle school, and high school I had a lot of friends. My friends were like my second family in a way. I would always see freinds I knew before or during class. It was like a every day thing. Like I had to run into them because it was a much smaller environment. Through my high school years my group of friends became smaller. I think this was because in high school you could pick different classes you wanted to be in. So, when that happened i found out that some of my friends had different interests such as art or gym classes, etc. There was more variety and a lot of classmates could pick different things which lead to me not seeing a bigger group of my friends.

Well, my high school senior year was interesting because now i had a smaller group of friends that were interested in mostly the same things. So, we always seen eachother because we picked similar classes. After my senior year was over some of my friends decided to go to different colleges, because of grades or affordability and that made my group of friends even smaller. Now, when ever we hang out i feel different, two of my friends are pregnant, one is at a community college and the other is at a different university.  It is like so weird to see the paths that some people chose to go down. I could never relate to most of my high school friends any more because it seems like they have other plans for their futures. I want to be a successful student and person, so college has allowed to me to meet other people with similar goals in life. I am very happy to make new friends, even though it can be akward and hard to do, because im not used to meeting new people, but im getting better at it everyday. I have made a bunch of new friends since i started going to wayne state! The new freinds i have made a totally different then my high school friends and a lot more mature like me.

So, life and friends can change and building new realationships is a great thing.
