<p>Ive started to receive my acceptance letters and its very exciting. But its only hitting me now that high school is ending and my friends and I will be going our separate ways. Im very unhappy at the thought of being so far from my best friend. What kind of methods are you guys planning to use to stay in touch with your friends? Right now Im thinking IM is the cheapest way out there but sometimes you just really need to hear a voice. So how many of you plan to be still on your familys cell phone plan or whatever? I might do that but I dont really want to impose that cost on my parents.</p>
<p>There's a reason why I have facebook and AIM.</p>
<p>Facebook for the few I care about.</p>
<p>Facebook for everybody...IM for a few.</p>
<p>AIM, myspace, facebook perhaps, and I have their cell phone numbers if I get bored and want to wake up the ones going to school in California at 5 a.m. :) I'm staying on my family's cell phone plan because it's like $10 bucks a month extra. Since I'm going to college for free, they can afford it.</p>
<p>:] For me, it would be writing letters and drawing pictures on the papers. ^^;</p>
<p>facebook! and i'll probably call my best friend a lot, because i'll be all scared and alone. you know.</p>
<p>I will probably AIM and e-mail and myspace, but I bet after awhile, we'll all be caught up with new friends and won't bother as much. I think it's just a fact of life (or so I've heard from the people I know in college).</p>
<p>I don't need to because I don't have any, which is why I want college to start sooner than it will (August 2007 or later). Even if I did, I probably would not keep in touch since I am not exactly that type of person; I get over things and move on very quickly unless detained heavily by an outside force.</p>
<p>its a small world. By sheer likelyness, the ones i care about will probably run into me from time to time. When that happens, I'll give em a good slap on the back and we'll act like good chums. Afterwards I will take some time out to forget them more thoroughly.</p>
<p>Of course, the above can't be applied in its fullest manner since I will definitely remain on CC through college. This forum is too addictive and I have spent too much time here to just walk away.</p>
<p>I have a lot of friends, but few close friends.....I don't think I'll miss them, really, maybe one of them, but I've known them so long and we've had some fun that I think I will try to keep in touch for a little while.</p>
<p>One of my best friends moved to Cali last summer and I've talked to her like 5 times since then. I only saw her once when she came back for a whole week and I was on break. I'll talk to some on AIM and of course I'll keep track of everyone through Facebook when I'm procrastinating, but other than that I expect to simply drift apart from most of them. Actually, I'm hoping that I go to college at least in the same city as two or thee of my friends so that I'll have someone to go back to. But that's about it.</p>
<p>I expect that most people will change and thus gain different groups of friends, because humans are dynamic; it is one of the chief reasons why HS relationships can bring so much discord senior year-the one likes the other because of the other person's current characteristics but may not like the changes that result upon change of environment or situation, and therefore the couple drifts apart slowly until there is no contact between the two.</p>
<p>Facebook, AIM, email/phone, and they'll all be relatively close by.</p>
<p>Are you going to the same college as said friends, compgurl? I take it that that is the reason why they will remain close by.</p>
<p>sniff..sniff.. my friends are
1. going in the Marines ;(......
2. Working (going to apprentice school) ;(......
3. Staying in our stinky old town of less than 5,000 people (worst)
Im depressed of the thought of not seeing them...E specially when they leave in the middle of summer!!! MSN and myspace is my perferred choice, although a phone call is always needed...
anyone else start thinkning about the future and want to start crying...</p>
<p>AIM, cell phones, email, I'm going to college with some friends. I'm going to a state school.</p>
<p>Keep in contact? HAHAHA... that's funny.</p>
<p>I'll KIT with a few people with email/AIM/phone. Even then, I probably won't KIT that long because of the "I can't" syndrome where you can't do anything with your friends due to college, you don't look at them the same way, etc.</p>
<p>One could choose whether or not one wanted to do things with friends during college, but most get caught up in the life and drift away from high school, which is a good thing. I can't imagine a college clique system as repressive as some in high school.</p>
