You Still Keep Up With Your High School And College Friends?

[Mike the Executioner]

I only have three friends at this point, and I didn't go to high school with any of them. Two of them are pen pals, and I met one of them before my senior year of HS and the other one during my freshman year of college. I've never met either of them in person, but I wouldn't hesitate to call them my friends.

People I actually went to high school and college with started moving differently after we stopped seeing each other every day. People that I thought were close friends, got invited to their birthday parties, met their families, spoke to them about my mental health, exchanged emails all the time. They all disappeared, and when I tried reaching out to them later, they acted like we were never friends. I spent a lot of time investing in people who didn't give a fukk about me anymore because I wanted to feel accepted. Not realizing that they weren't meant to be in my life for that long.

my friend from high school just texted me "tell your brother to call me" the other day. i didn't respond lol, they be on some worrisome shyt.
i was in jamaica this week with a friend that i've known since college... but the friends that i actually met in the college died last year

all these folks are more like fam than friends at this point. and you never know when they are going to go so enjoy them while you can!

Angolan high school's are more like Japanese high schools than american ones. So my HS class has a whatsapp group in which we talk every other day, exchange perspectives, laugh at memes, remember the old days.
Most are married with kids, but we really don't be talking about our families like that. More so about society and how things are in the places we live nowadays. Some are in europe, some still in Angola.

It's a group of people that you can goof off with in a way you can't with people that met you when you were an adult already.

High School is fukk them nikkas til my death
My college homies are my brothers for life
I’d die for every last one
We went from jits to grown men

 

[XannyWarbucks]

My best friends are people I've known since I was in single digits.
High school friends, I guess we keep up sports wise, but I can't say we hung out in like 5-6 years. Nothing happened here so it's weird that I rather hang out with elementary school friends, regardless.
College, as soon as I graduated, we stopped.

Only a few

My closest friends were my boys in HS. I met my wife in college but aint really close with anyone else, even a cat I was tight with all my life AND went to college with. But my main homies I been tight with for like 25 years now even though I left home 20 years ago. Also got some homies where I live now but none of them ever been as close with as my day 1s

 

[JetFueledThoughts]

Hell yeah I do, 5-10 of them are still great friends of mine to this day.

Does thecoli really just go rawdoggin life with no friends??

Only one person, chick who I'd consider one of my closest friends in high school. We text/talk a couple of times out of the year to check up on each other, birthdays, words of encouragement, advice with money since she's an accountant, etc.

There were two other people from HS, my boy I knew since middle school and another chick who had a crush on me. I actually hung out with them more after HS than the girl I text now and they both went away for college lol. Anytime they would come back home we'd be out every day. That lasted for about three years then communication just kinda fell off for some reason. We haven't spoken much since; I like their pics on IG and FB whenever I go over there but thats about it. Chick who had a crush on me invited me to her party the year before last.

 

[Grand Cru Boo]

Not at all. I stopped hustling and moved away for college after a close call. After college I moved to NYC. Half of them are either dead or in prison. The other half are druggies or wasted talent.

Is what it is

 

[Kuma the Bear]

Only one but that's because we're childhood friends and went to the same school.

I follow or are friends with two others on social media but I haven't seen them in person or other school friends since we finished school which was nearly ten years ago.

 

[At30wecashout]

Just a few but imma be real with you: a bunch of them living stressed and regular so when I talk to them on some "Whatsup!" I get sob stories. I GET IT! But damn, every time? When I was down, I would still reach out to people just to chop it up. Now im finally in a position to make some moves and can't even share the sentiment. Bros losing jobs or are in chronic debt, meanwhile my soon to be TV is over a mortgage payment. Its hard to keep up with folks in a different wavelength cause I don't want them to think im showing them up, I also don't want to be their cheerleader when they are in a funk, and worst case, im not trying to get set up by an old acquaintance who don't have shyt else to do.

Folks will be like "You changed" when really only my circumstances changed.
