Strong friendships will survive

Yesterday we spoke about how important it is to keep friendships. Let’s take a look at how to do it while also focussing on other parts of our life. One possible big change in our life is going to university.

The decision to go to university is often made together with your parents. However your current friends before going to university are crucial during the decision. They are the ones who have known you for years and will help you make a decision. The one thing that should be advised against is going to a certain university or area because your friends are going there.

Jumping in the unknown, is scary. Going into a new stage of your life without anyone joining you is a difficult challange. Taking this leap of faith will help you out immensely in the future. You will learn that starting over can be the start of something great. You will be meeting new people and you will create new shared moments.

Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends. – H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Spending time with old friends will allow you to look back at amazing memories and share neew stories. Through the passage of time these old friendships will survive. Not meeting them during couples of months or years can even increase the spark.

If you decide that you want to spend some time on friendships without dropping your studies for it. You can always text friends to see how to combine meetings. Bringing old and new friends together can be a great way to introduce new people into your life. This way you get to know people but you will also be able to maintain your great friendships.
