<p>I start college in about a week, and I am very close to a few of my friends from high school (they’re going to other colleges). So I was just wondering how often most people Skype with their old friends? How does one find a balance between remaining friendships while still meeting new people and enjoying all their college has to offer?</p>
<p>I skyped with mine every month or so. Just set up dates and stick to them and you’ll be fine. Also, write letters. It’s a good way to stay in touch without hindering the time you spend with your new friends. Not that skyping will do that, of course, but letters are fun to get and don’t take that long to write.</p>
<p>It depends.
There are times where we’ll talk every single day, then there are times where we’ll talk every other week or two. Life is busy and sometimes we just don’t have the time. I’m taking on double courses in college, and working. We both go to different colleges, so a lot is going on.</p>
<p>At first, I spoke to them about twice a week.
It soon became every other week, and now not at all.</p>
<p>We hung out a bit during the summer break, but I just feel that I have nothing in common with my old friends anymore, so I doubt I will be talking much to them. I know it may sound bad, but the friends I made in college just understand me more, therefore I feel like I outgrew my old friends.</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>I’m wondering that too. All the schools on the semester system are starting this week, and I’m on the quarter system, so I start in a month. My best friend just moved to UC Berkeley and we’re planning on skyping often once he gets his internet set up. We’ve known each other since fourth grade and I feel like a part of me is missing now. :(</p>
<p>Thanks to Facebook… pretty often.</p>
<p>Very often. My high school group is very close, and I don’t see us ever really losing contact with each other, especially with Skype and Facebook.</p>
