Whether you are in high school or college, you have experienced this happening. One moment you have a group or friends and without you even realizing it, that friend group grows apart.

This has happened to me in college. Although my friends I are still friends, we are not nearly as close as we used to be. Honestly, I really don't know why or how this happens. You don't even see it coming. My group of friends and I have been friends since my freshman year college. We were inseparable my entire freshman year. We started growing apart the fall semester of my sophomore year. Today, I feel like I'm still friends with these people, but we have grown apart so much to where I don't even really know what is going on in their lives.

Most of us have gotten girlfriends/boyfriends or we have made other friends. Yeah, it's sad. But I guess that is just a part of growing up. People go their separate ways and move on with their lives. It really sucks to be honest. I miss my fiends all the time and I miss knowing what was going on in their lives. I miss late nights talking about life and laughing so hard that we start tearing up. I miss movie nights and game nights. I miss just doing life together.

However, this experience has taught me some things. That even though our lives are really busy, my friends still care about me. It is not that they wanted us to grow apart, it's just that our adult lives became really busy. If you going through this similar experience, just know that your friends still care about you. Life just gets really busy sometimes. However, if you call these friends and ask them how they are, I promise that they will be happy to hear from you. Try to make time for your friends. And when life gets busy and you grow apart, know that they will still be there for you if you really need them.
