Good friends are like stars

I know I have said this before, but the hardest part about graduating won't be leaving State College behind. It will be leaving the wonderful, smart, funny and caring people I have met here.

I went to Gettysburg today with a group of some of the nicest people I know. On the way back just thinking about not being able to do something so fun and spontaneous as that with them again made me feel sad.

It's so strange to become so close to people for years -- or even a few weeks -- and then have to say goodbye, when there are many things left unsaid to them and left undone with them.

The most I can do is hope we will stay in touch. With the advance of the internet and social media it is easier than ever to stay connected -- and there's no reason not to.

It may not be quite the same as seeing each other every day, but to those I have shared so many memories with in college: I will always be your friend if you need me.

I'm a big quote person, so this will happen a lot, but this one is very fitting for the sentiment of this post:

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