In Back To School, Rodney Dangerfield said you should move back in with your parents.

I was young once and I can remember how you feel.

My advice is don't worry about it. Get out there and live your life, remember the good times of the past but don't dwell on them. People move on; some you will lose touch with but so what? You will make new friends as you go along.

Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow might never happen; today is what counts. Be happy and enjoy where you are now, the people who say things like "you don't realise it then, but school days are the best days of your life" are missing the point (usually social inadequates):-).You should say "the best is yet to come" and keep saying it and thinking it for as long as you live.

Life is a series of transitions you sometimes have to let go of the past to move on.

Sorry if this advice seems a little harsh (its meant to be helpful)but IMHO it is no good taking the soft and sympathetic approach with a situation like this as that only makes the problem worse.

Life is a journey - and every journey begins with a single step.

Time to start walking...

To this day, I miss my high school days and my high school friends. College too, but not as much. If I could go back in time and repeat it, I would.

But, it's not a problem for me. I've always been able to concentrate on today, for the most part, and plan for the future.

I know what you mean - Im still in touch with several uni friends although I dont seem to see them much now days.

Every time we meet we seem to have less in common - its now close to 12 years since leaving.

Its is a shame and a great loss - but theres not a lot you can do, just look forward and try to keep in touch.

Good news is that Im going back fulltime in September and im really looking forward to it.

So any one here near Southampton?

A few "words of wisdom" - they work for me - so I hope that they may work for you somewhere on this stage of your journey.

* Failure lies not in failing down, but in not getting up.

* Make sure that you are not the richest person in the cemetery. You cannot do business from there.

* It is important to be a go-getter. But it is even more important to know what it is you want to go and get.

Keep in touch with your friends. Plan reunions (ski weekend, etc). If you're travelling, arrange layovers in their cities and have lunch or dinner. Become one of those people who send holiday cards and birthday cards.

The days of "the gang" hanging out are over, and you'll lose touch with many people. But you'll keep in touch with some for years and years.

Yes to remain in touch i have taken email,birthday,address,phone numbers of all my friends and hope to remain in touch with then throughout my life.I know its hard and i wont be able to remain in touch will all of those.But i'll try my best.

Who was it who said "Strangers are just friends we haven't met yet"?

There is a whole world of new friends you have yet to meet. You have a lot to look forward to.

I certainly understand the trepidation - but move on and grab what life offers you. It will offer a lot - it just might not seem that way today.

Good luck!

So at last our final day in unviversity campus was over..we all friends enjoyed a lot...had long long chat about...all those four years which we passed and which passed so fast that we cant even say we spent 4 years together and completed this degree...it was very memorable day with lots of fun...movie...remembering all those precious moments..which we spent together..meeting our teachers....from now we all are loooking forward for new challenges ..new days...ahead of us.

I pray to God for success for all of my friends..and may their every wish come true.

Having friends all over the place is AWESOME cause then you have a bunch of places to go visit some day. Two of my friends live in the same city, about 5hrs from here. I like to take weekend trips to visit every now and then. If you like to travel, please look at your circumstance as an opportunity.
