While both of my daughters were lucky enough to make good friends early on and as they are now both post-college they are still friends with the majority of them, one of my older daughter’s closest friends today she met her second semester junior year of college after returning from semester abroad and although this friend was actually a year older she was a grade behind in school as she performed mandatory alternate service to the military in Israel at age 18 prior to attending school in the U. S. and one of my younger daughter’s friends now post-college is a girl she barely knew in college as they were involved in totally different areas of interest at school.
