Saying Goodbye When Highschool Ends


Question Posted Sunday October 16 2011, 6:43 pm

So it's my senior year and I'm on the cross country team at my high school. I've made so many wonderful friendships and the season is almost over. I am so depressed that I have to say goodbye to my really good friends. We'll call them Brad, Andy, Mitch, Carla, and Ella. I talked to Andy about having a little XC reunion and he loved the idea but I haven't talked to anybody else about it yet. Sometimes the guys feel a little awkward around me since I'm a senior girl and they're freshman guys... so they might feel weird even with some girl friends coming to my house for pizza and movies or something. But he seemed to love the idea. I guess what I'm asking is does that sound like a good idea? How do I keep in touch all year with them? And do you think they'll remember me? We've all gotten pretty close I'd say.
Thank you very much.

It sounds like a great idea! It's great that you're getting all your close friends together especially because this is your sneior year and its important to cherish it as much as possible. I sometimes regret rushing my senior year so quickly and wanting to get older.
As for keeping in touch you have so many options. You have facebook, email, phone, texting, etc. I'm sure they'll remember you, I have had friends that I've made all over the country and even in some different countries and I stay in contact with them from time to time. I don't talk to them everyday but that doesn't mean that I'm not friends with them. Heck...my friend from high school and I have been best friends for about 10 years now. I don't talk to him everyday and I don't see him everyday like I use to but we both try to make it a point to catch up or talk online or something. I know he still lvoes me and I love him!
There is no need to worry and I'm sure everything will be fine. Just enjoy the moment and live in the now! Good luck with the rest of your senior year!

You're making this into an issue and it doesn't need to be at all. Organise your pizza & movie evenings, or going out or whatever, and invite everyone you would like to be there. When it's a big group of people, it doesn't matter about freshman/senior or boy/girl etc, it's just a big group of friends hanging out. You're close already - no-one is going to forget you unless you stop seeing each other regularly. What you could do is make the first gettogther an "end of season" party, which ties it back to your XC connection, and then that can segue nicely into seeing each other socially as a group. And hopefully others will start to organise things too, as would happen with any group of friends.
