I hardly talk to anyone I went to high school where I went. I talk to only a handful of them. Most of my firends now are the ones that I met in college. I went to a very small high school (I graduated with 37 people) and therefore didn't really get to pick my friends, because there weren't all that many people there. That's why I love college so much, I got to pick my friends and I wouldn't trade any of them for the world! I even met my boyfriend here at college. They are very diverse, where at my school we were all pretty much the same (white, middle and lower class). At school I have gay friends, friends of different races, friends from inner cities, friends from different states, just friends from all over. I'm so glad that I got to go 8 hours away from home. When I hear about most of the people I graduate with most of them are back in our town, having flunked out of college, got pregnant, got married, and have no desire to leave the small town we all grew up in. I am part of a very small handful of people in my graduating class, who are still in college My best friend went to the same high school as I did and we still talk a lot.
