We've all been there before especially as we get older. Friends come into our lives for such a time, then it's time to say "see ya later" as they go and pursue their careers after college. There is no easy way to say "see ya later," and honestly, I HATE IT, but it is inevitable and we must say these simple yet bittersweet three words. So, here are a few quotes to help out with that process.

1. "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."

2. "You and I will meet again when we're least expecting it, one day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, for you and I will meet again."

3. "Goodbye always makes my throat hurt."

4. "Goodbyes are not forever, are not the end; it simply means I'll miss you until we meet again."

5. "Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you know they are always there."

6. "True friends don't say good-bye, they just take extended leaves of absences from each other."

While saying goodbye, see ya later, and all the other sad words with the same meanings are difficult we find comfort in the fact that one day we will see each other again. We get to catch up with one another and we are able to find out what successes we've all gotten.
