It's all part of life and growing up I'm afraid. You will find the friends you make today, will not necessarily be the same friends you have 5, 10 or 15 years from now. As we get older, move into new situations (new schools), we naturally drift from the 'what was' and drift towards 'what's new'. It doesn't mean your friend doesn't care about you anymore, she's perhaps just enlarged her circle of friends and interests. This is all normal and all a part of growing up. We've all gone through it. The friends I had in school are not the same friends I have now in my life. I will always have memories of them close to my heart. Perhaps call your friend and see if she'd like to get together some afternoon. Bring out some old pictures of the 2 of you and reminisce about old times. If nothing else you'll both have a good chuckle and who knows, it might just bring you back a little closer together. It's worth a try! Like the saying goes - nothing ventured, nothing gained. Just remember we all go through changes in our lives but we will always have our memories of the 'good ole days'. Chin up and always be you!!

I went through the same thing with my bff from 4th grade. We went to different HS but still got together and went to parties at each other's schools, and hung out in the summer. Then we went to dif colleges, but would visit each others campuses and party.
Now we are adults- I stood up in her wedding, and she's going to be in mine. She has a child now, and I see her about once every 2-3 weeks....we don't talk all the time, but I know that we will be friends forever, as long as we keep in touch.

I kinda drifted far off from my acquaintances. Then later chanced on people who did not strategies a woman that dressed (interior the opinion of the idiots at my college) gothic. yet I did get depressed as quickly as I drifted far off from my acquaintances. Or i might have already been depressed. try making extra acquaintances or stunning out with the people who're drifting away or the acquaintances that have not yet.

people who go to school together and then graduate, or go to different schools, or work together and then get different jobs always drift apart. It's very sad.
The only advise I can give is that you BOTH have to make a concentrated effort to spend time together. Schedule a shopping date once a week or lunch date. Something, because really good friends don't come by easy.

You have to realize that people are in your life for a reason or a season. You can not make someone hang around that doesnt want to. The best thing to do is talk and see what is going on the relationship. See why they dont come around as much or just see where their heart is totally...
TALK TALK TALK! This is the most important factor for any relationship to work...
Good luck and if you guys split, it's ok... friends come and go... you just have to accept it and move on...

Well you both should decide on a day to call friends day and no matter whats going on that week you both should meet at a place and spend a day together....no one can be tooo busy to give up a day a week

kind of funny i have the same situation, just call or send her a email and tell her how you feel. and set a time to be with each other away from your busy sceds.

That's what happens sometimes when you get older. Just keep in touch with her and understand that your friendship has changed but that it's not over.

try using a small anchor. This will help. If the anchor does not work try a bigger anchor.
It always worked for me.
