Hey guys, I graduated a bit early and now I'm a freshman in college while most of my friends are still in high school. Does that seem odd to anyone else? Just trying to understand if this is a common situation. Thanks!
Not strange at all! It's fairly common for people to keep in touch with their high school friends, especially early in their college years. Maintaining those relationships can provide a comforting sense of familiarity and support as you navigate through the new experience of college. Additionally, friendships aren't bound by academic calendars or age differences.
Just be aware that while it's great to stay connected with your old friends, try to be open to making new ones in college as well. College presents you with a unique opportunity to connect with a diverse group of people who might share your interests or introduce you to different perspectives. Not only can these new friendships enrich your college experience, but they can also be beneficial in terms of networking and even finding potential roommates. It's all about balance!
