Old friends, new friends...

I cannot express how much I love the new people I have met in college. There are some really, really, talented and friendly people. Some of these people I know I will stay in touch with for a long, long time. With this said, I also have people that I've known since even middle school, that I miss so much.

Just tonight, one of my closest friends just decided to give me a call, because she felt like it. This might sound lame or something, but it really made my day. To know someone just wanted to talk to me, catch up - was really heartwarming. So we talked and talked. She is definitely one of those people that I think I'll know for a long time :-)

My friend circles have also changed so much since high school. I remember in high school, I had multiple groups of friends, and I liked the feeling of popularity. Why lie... Not to say I like being secluded and isolated or something now, but, I just don't feel the need to have to know everyone personally that I see. Since I came to ASU, my mindset was different, as well as what was important to me. The most important worry I had in high school was if I was getting to play practice on time. Now, I'm worrying about permanent grades. Succeeding. Making my parents and my teacher proud. So I only have a few friends now, and I've lost touch with many of my friends from high school. I like who I know now though, and if it's meant to be, I feel somehow I will reconnect with some of the others that I lost touch with.

I am content now.
