The thing I’m most afraid of when I go to college is feeling lonely. A few of my best friends are moving out as well, so they get to share the same type of experience as I do. But the majority of my best friends going to college are staying here, together. I feel like they’re all going to have each other while I’m alone and by myself. I know I’m going to get homesick and I know that I’m going to want to come home a lot to see them. But I also know that someday I’m going to have to grow up. As much as I’m going to miss them, I need to learn that it’s okay to be apart from them. I know that I always like to be included in things, so that’s why it’s hard when they all still get to be here together. I just feel like if I ever felt lonely, they wouldn’t truly understand the feeling because they have each other. Friendship-wise, I have nothing to worry about. I am beyond sure that nothing will ever ruin the strong sisterhood we have. Even though I have someone 10 minutes away from me, it’s not the same when we don’t go to the same school. It’s scary feeling alone. 

But whether they’re moving out like me, or staying in the city together, I know that the friendships I share with these people are special and they’re worth keeping. Distance may be keeping us apart from each other physically but I know that no matter how far or how close we are from each other, I will always have them.
