I stopped caring about my high school friends about halfway into sophomore year of college. I think that’s fairly typical. My college friends, on the other hand, are all still close. We get together annually for a pre-Thanksgiving meal and for New Years Eve, and take vacations together. It’s been 8 years since I graduated college. Many of us are married, and we now live all over the country (CA, MD, NY, MA, NH, VA), but I think this group is the “friends for life” group. High School friendships are simply part of my past, and nothing more.
