1. They become your family

When you make friends in college, if they become your best friends then it is most likely that eventually they will start to feel like your family. Well not your real family, but your family away from home.

As the days go on you will make more and more memories, which will make your imminent graduate date seem a little sadder.

It won't be sadder just because you don't want to graduate yet, but it will be sadder because you will worry about the fate of your friendship. That is because your friends have become something you have depended on for four years and the thought of all going separate ways can be hard.

Winter break is weird

If you are used to seeing someone every day or maybe even just a couple days throughout the week, it is going to be a little weird when you all just go home for winter break.

Of course it is nice getting to see your friends and family back home, but it may feel a little weird not getting to see your friend for a couple weeks.

3. Summer is even weirder

If you thought winter break was weird, that is nothing compared to summer break.

Being separated from your friends for around three months can be even harder. You miss just hanging out with them and being together.

Of course you can always go and visit them though!

There may even come a point when you are ready to go back to school just so things can be like they were before you left.

4. You have tons of inside jokes

When you are spending a lot of time together over break, you are bound to have tons of inside jokes!

You may go on trips together like spring break, or to go to each other's house and that will just help you guys grow even closer and have more memories, which means more jokes.

5. It is hard to think about what life was like without them

Of course people have had friends before they came to college, but I think that something about college that lets you really get close to people.

So when you think of what life was like without them it may seem so distant because you feel like they have been there the whole time.

Not everyone has the same college experience as me or will agree with this depending on their own individual experiences, but regardless I feel so lucky to have people that make it hard to say goodbye to.
