Personal Experience: My Best Friend In High School

Decent Essays
I had a group of a friends where we believed we would remain close once we entered high school. Sadly, that’s not how things turned out, and we drifted apart. It all began in the middle of 8th grade, and I had a ton of friends. We were all so close and had always told each other that things wouldn’t change once we entered high school. Most of us had classes with each other, and the ones that didn’t, we would all meet up during lunch time.

We talked, and talked about how excited we were to become freshman in high school. We wouldn’t have to deal with finding new friends since we were all going to the same school and that it wouldn’t be that different from middle school. Eventually, summer had ended and school had begun. It was a huge struggle trying to find our classes, but it didn’t matter because all we were looking forward to was to hang out during nutrition and lunch time. We had decided on a “hang out” spot for us and it was near the entrance of the school, it was a big tree near the benches.
Life was good and that year felt like the middle school days. Although we met new friends along the way, they didn’t really replace the ones we already had. High school wasn’t all that different, I mean we had higher expectations, but that was all. It felt great because I had the feeling that I created lifetime friends and that nothing would get in the way. Freshman year went by, sophomore year started, and I was excited to hang out with my friends. I expected that sophomore year would be like freshman year, and it wouldn’t be any different. I was

    It was the beginning of May 2014 (end of 7th grade) and my dad had found out about a great opportunity.

    We all listened to the same bands, loved the same teen heartthrob, and all had a similar personality. It took losing a core group of friends of mine transitioning into freshman year to show me that it’s okay to be your own person. I will say freshman year was a huge struggle for me to go through without being friends with the people that I had grown closest to in the 8th grade and years prior to 9th grade, but in the long run it has benefitted me more than I could have ever imagined that year. I now am not afraid to be alone sometimes and not always hang out with a group of people or one person every weekend. I’m okay with spending time by myself just relaxing in my room or grabbing some lunch at bread co by myself when I can.…
