Your first year of college is a life-changing experience. You will try new things, and push your boundaries. Even if the only new thing you try is living away from home, there will still be plenty of new things to experience. Along with this, you will also meet new people and hopefully make at least a few close friends. The difficult part comes when you are done with classes for the year, everyone moves out, and you realize that one of your new best friends lives three hours away, and two others are working at summer camp. It will be weird not being able to walk across the hall to harass them. So, from personal experience, here are the five friends you will miss during the summer after freshman year.
1. The one who is no longer your roommate.
Whether this was a random roommate assignment or not, even if you didn’t get along with your roommate you will still probably miss living with them in some way. I mean, you did inhabit the same tiny cell for, like, nine months. It will be weird not seeing their face every morning.
2. The goofy friend.
3. The one you had ALL of the classes with.
4. The one who really ~gets you.~
In college, you might be lucky enough to find a friend who you can really talk to about anything, and like 80% of the time they will say “SAME.” It’s crazy, actually- you were in the same high school sport, struggle with some of the same issues, and enjoy the same beverages. Your majors might be entirely different, but you really understand one another.
5. The best friend.
This is the friend you can rant back and forth with, and they will never judge you. You might not have gone through the same things, but you can always be truly honest with each other. There is nothing you can’t go to them for, and no matter how gross the guy they made out with is- you are always supportive of one another. They also probably give the best hugs.
