<p>I don’t like to talk about the “g” word, but it has gotten me really depressed lately. It is just so hard to be doing schoolwork, when I know that I will be leaving college in a few months. I want to be with my friends and enjoying my last few months of it, but I have school work and jobs to search for, and I can’t exactly just ignore those two obligations. I go to a school that draws from all over, and I know that I will never see some people again…</p>
<p>I don’t have much advice on the emotions, but one practical thing to do: get every friend’s email and phone number. [If you even slightly think you’ll want to talk to them ever again, get their information.] Ask them to email you as soon as they decide what they’re doing after college, even if it’s just short-term. If they don’t email you, make sure to send them an email to make sure! No point losing contact so quickly. If you find out some people are within a state or two of where you plan on being, plan on annual meetups. Keep on emailing them. You don’t have to lose touch if you don’t want to!</p>
<p>just be glad you liked college enough to be depressed about leaving…</p>
<p>My good friend is graduating and going off to Germany. While I’m in the opposite situation as you (my friend is graduation, not me), I recommend getting Skype or some instant messaging program. Webcam with good friends; there really is not point in losing contact with the people you’ve connected with these past four years. Sure you might not be able to go out with them on the weekends, but you can stay in touch.</p>
<p>And yanno, friendships do come and go. It’s a sad fact, but it’s true. Although with the methods we have of communicating nowadays, staying in touch can be ridiculously easy.</p>
<p>Make sure you savor the last few moments of college instead of being on CC.</p>
<p>Being depressed about graduating by leaving your friends is a source of a bright acheivement.</p>
<p>Being depressed about the fact that you had low college GPA or didn’t make any friends at all would’ve been an underachievement.</p>
<p>So I recommend you adding them on facebook if they have one.</p>
<p>There becomes a time when all the kiddies need to grow up.</p>
<p>Awww, I kinda wish I had your problem. Enjoy it while it lasts. (:</p>
