How do you deal with growing up/lost friendships/nostalgia ? - 10 points?

I can relate, however, the studying and working will lead you to new friends and new adventures. I've lived in 4 states and have had the joy of meeting SO many people! Your friends play a role in your life while they are there, but life moves on, you move on, people move on. Enjoy the moment while you are in it, remember people fondly, think about the happy times and know there are SO many more coming in the future. If you can, find them on Facebook, share photos, memories, etc. My best friend from the time I was 4 until 15 and I reconnected after many years on FB and now we are able to share, reminisce and catch up.
