I know I've talked about if before but I can't stress how much my life has changed from high school to now. Beforehand, I mentioned how I coped with these changes and how they affected me. Now I want to mention how much in a social aspect your life will change. In high school you may know everyone and have a very large group of friends. As fun as it may be, that soon ends once you get into college, unless you can balance having a social life, working full-time hours and, going to school. For me maintaining a social life has been one of my hardest tasks. Although it hasn't been easy, I live for moments when I get to see my friends because it certainly is never a dull moment. From driving around Stony Point or driving to Ithica, or just hanging out in a basement watching a movie, it is always a fun time. I say it a lot, but even just having a small group of friends is the best. I've never felt safer with my friends no matter what crazy things we do. Driving around listening to Springsteen and some of the best country music with them is what makes me happy. I don't know how to explain it, I went from this grunge kid listening to punk, to this well kind of adult being open to all music and even listening to country something I thought I would never listen to. Although things get tough its nice to have some friends you can unwind with.
