I just had to say goodbye to one of my absolute best friends I've made in college, and seriously, friends are not allowed to leave me. I will apparently sob uncontrollably for an hour or more.
Lauren and I have only known each other for a little over a year, she became to be known as my pseudo-girlfriend. We would have lengthy conversations about how we hoped to raise our children, and how they could only be complete brats if they had us as parents.
We have our Tuesday and Thursday night rituals, and now I'll be completely lost. No longer will I be able to tell her I'm coming to her apartment at 9:30, then get there at 10, and pace the hallway while she gets ready in the bathroom, then have her yell at me for not drinking fast enough, then go through our cell phones to call everyone to come out with us, then head to dance party ten minutes after they start charging cover.
Seriously, I feel like a large part of my life is missing, and I only just said goodbye to her three hours ago. I think it's hitting me so hard because this is the first of many goodbyes, and that fact is starting to sink in. There's only one year left of college, and I'm going to be losing a lot more friends than I'll be gaining in that time.
I'm just worried about my world becoming too small.
