After being in school for only about two months so far, my friends and I have become really close and are starting to become more of a family than friends. Today though, my closest friend told me that he is transferring next semester. I’m happy for him to acknowledge what he wants and for going for it, but I’m just taking it kind of hard right now.
It is hard to lose a close relationship, whenever it happens. It’s okay to feel what you feel.
I am a Mom going back to school. I just had a good friend drop the allied health program I am in. It was really unsettling. 1) you are going to miss your friend 2) Having a friend leave makes you question your choices.
Hopefully you will make some new friends and like NorthernMom said -allow yourself to feel down about it for a while without shame.
That is a bit of a jolt, but you are just one semester in and will continue to make new friends and solidify existing friendships at your college over the years. Take a deep breath, wish your friend well, and keep doing what you are doing.
