This confession touches upon an important aspect of friendship that is often overlooked - the fact that college friends are not always friends for life. While popular culture often portrays college friends as a tight-knit group that stays together forever, the reality is far more nuanced. While some people do find lifelong friends and even soulmates in college, that is not always the case.
The confession highlights the fact that it's been less than a year since the person graduated from college, yet they have already lost touch with all their friends from school. While it's natural to lose touch with people over time, the past two years have made it particularly challenging for many of us to stay connected. The pandemic has made it difficult to travel or even leave the house, which has undoubtedly impacted the ability to maintain friendships. Nonetheless, it's important to recognize that friendships are a two-way street, and it takes effort and commitment from both parties to keep the connection alive. While it's natural to drift apart from people, it's equally important to invest in the relationships that are meaningful to us and to cherish the memories we've shared with those who have impacted our lives.
