Why It Is 1000x Harder To Say 'Goodbye' To Your Graduating College Friends

Springtime on college campuses is always busy. From projects to club meetings, students are constantly running from building to building working to get to the end of the semester.

For seniors, that end of the semester stress is multiplied by 1,000. They're done in a couple of months. Not done until August, but fully complete with their degrees.

I'm not ready for my senior friends to graduate. It is completely different than when your senior friends graduated high school.

When your senior friends graduated high school, it was sad. You wouldn't be seeing some of your best friends on a daily basis, but there was always coming home for breaks from college. Most of your graduating class (or their parents) still live in your hometown. There's always a chance that you will see an old friend at your local grocery store.

But when your senior college friends graduate, it's a whole new, big world.

Your friends that you met at college came from all over the place. Your college is your shared commonplace. Without it, what is the likelihood that you would have met?

True friends will stay in contact even if they're halfway across the country working while you are still stuck on campus waiting for graduation.

Hopefully, for you and your friends, graduation doesn't mean "Goodbye" but instead "See you later."

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
