end-of-school-year blues

[Gooberlx2]

Yeah, I know it's not normal to be down about the end of school. But believe me, it's not the lack of school that gets me down. Instead, I hate seeing good friends leave. Finals week tends to become a time of "one last hoorahs" at bars with friends leaving for bigger and better things, rather than a time of examinations. (my exams always seem to end early anyway)

This year, however, a couple of friends very close to me are leaving. One, a girl, who I, like an idiot, missed his chance with. (that's okay, the guy she's with now is a fine chap ;-) But regardless, she and I are very close. She's leaving for pharamacy school once this semester is out. Another, a friend who has been like a brother to me since freshman dorms, is taking off to teach english in Japan, and then graduate school.

It's very depressing to me. The chances of any of us having time/money to visit each other is practically nil. Next year I'll finally be done and move on to my own things. Thus, the chances get even smaller.

I've moved around my whole life, having to make/re-make friends. Frankly, I'm sick of it; and maybe that's why I get somewhat depressed around this time. (by all means, I'm still stoked for summer ;-)

Anybody else experience something similar?

Goober, from a fellow goober , I understand completely. I graduate high school in a month, And I really dont wanna leave all my friends. luckily, my friends parents are as cheap as mine, so a lot of us are going to the same community college. But I am really gonna miss high school. I know probably 75% of the 700 kids in our class. I know them by name, Ive hung out with most of them, Ive kicked a few of their asses and made friends out of it, Ive been busted up a couple times and made friends out of it, its a giant learning experience and I truthfully can say I love it and I will miss it a lot. I understand most people say that college life is waaaaaaay better than high school life, but Im damn happy just where I am. Maybe it has something to do with the requirement for real responsibility. I dont know. I am so depressed right now man, this sucks.

I can't wait to go to Uni myself.

I'll come back at holidays and my mates come back home as well. So we'll all chill with each other and stuff. We'll always keep on contact. We got email we have mobile phones to chat with.

I have mates in School but some of those guys aren't really mates. I'd never trust them with much. I got friends all over the place and England is a much smaller country then USA so its not hard to keep in touch. My mates will see me for the first reading week. Then I go to theres next time etc.

Can't wait to live on my own and be indepedent. I'll miss my friends but we'll hook up and keep in touch. Make new friends at Uni.

Start of something new. You got friends so thats cool.....

I dunno....it doesn't feel the same when you're graduating from the university. I'm all worried about getting a decent job and being able to support myself. (much less a family if that ever happens)

I've lived in 9 different places in my short 22 years of life. One of my moves was right after my frosh year in HS. It sucked hardcore leaving all my friends behind. I live only 4 hours from home, and as much as I'd like to, I only find time to visit about 3 times a year. I can't imagine finding time/money to visit "old college buddies" who live on the other side of the country. (yeah, that's a long trek in the U.S.)

It sucks more this year 'cause we were so close. The girl was one of those where you could always grab a hug if you needed one. (not to sound like a pansy or anything) I dunno, but being around her was...comforting.
**sigh** good times.
