<p>I just started my sophomore year and so far things have been tough. My classes are challenging (which I don't mind) but my best friend has no classes with me. Not even lunch. We've only become friends since last year but we are very close. We're like sisters. We didn't hang out at all during the summer due to me being in NY but we did talk on the phone almost every day for hours. We tell each other anything and everything and I can't imagine her not being a part of my life. We used to talk for HOURS on the phone, from the moment we woke up until we were going to bed, but, now we hardly talk for an hour a day. I never see her in between classes because our classes are so far apart. She told me that this would happen but I refused to believe it. Now I really see that it's happening. If I call her she's busy and when she calls me, I'm busy. I know she doesn't want this to happen and neither do I. I'm so crestfallen. I don't know what to do. The only time we can hang out is on Sunday because every other day I study. I have no clue what to do. I've realized that she's the only friend that I really trust and can completely be myself around. Please give me some advice...</p>
<p>Study less so you can have friends. No matter what the course load you are carrying, there is no need for you to study all day on Saturday.
Try writing notes or texting, it’s faster,easier, and more convenient than calling and talking on the phone for hours.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about losing friends. You might go to different colleges, and the tides of life will sweep you apart. There are probably plenty of other people that you can be friends with that are in some of your classes. Get to know them, and you’ll probably be able to find somebody else to do all of those things with.</p>
<p>No, you should not give this friendship up. You really don’t need to study all day Saturday (or Sunday), so pick one of those days to hangout, or Friday nights or something. When you have a friend this close (something I have never had) you can’t give it up.</p>
<p>I haven’t had a single class with my best friend since elementary school, yet we have continuously grown closer. We both have busy excur schedules that usually prevent us from hanging out on weeknights, but we make a point of finding time to spend together, even if it is just grabbing something to eat or aimlessly walking around her neighborhood. Sounds like you are studying way to much. All day saturday? You’re over-studying, which won’t do you any good. At least take weekend nights off.</p>
