Well, the start of another year of college has snuck up behind me again. I cant believe school is already in motion, I just feel like i didnt get alot out of my summer.

Oh right, Im going to college at Humboldt State University which is about 10 hours north of my home in visalia,(and i dont smoke pot or drink). Idk, I just feel like, my past is leaving me, its not even there anymore. All my friends, memories, even my family is becoming more detached from me. I dont know where all the time went, it just seems to have flown out the window. Ive lost so many friends to alcohol and drugs, hell I was even ostracized my senior year of High School because I didnt drink, which forced me to gain new friends, but they're the best friends ive ever had. If it werent for them and my gf, i dont know how I would have made it through that year.

Anyway im starting to sound all emo, I just wanted to know if anyone else out there has started feeling that their past, whether it be friends family or even just memories, is starting to drift.

During Middle school all of my friends starting drinking and smoking pot. I kept hanging out with them for awhile, and I tried it but I never enjoyed it. Eventually all they talked about was booze and weed, and suddenly we didn't talk about the same things and I could never really talk to them.

Anyway. I have other friends now and they're pretty cool.

I know this might end up basically killing discussion but...

the discussion of alcohol and drugs is prohibited on SWF, so please refrain from talking about them in too much detail.

I don't really mind passing references to the negative effects they may have had, but elaborating too much on personal experiences will get warned/infracted and a thread lock will ensue.

kk, thanks for the heads up.

Well, as the PSA's say: A friend who will only be your friend if you drink is not a true friend.
.....Or something like that.

True statement. Your friends should be there for u, not just to hang out with you.

Personally I can't stand the sight of alcoholic beverages or any kind of intoxicant. They are scary with regards to how they can completely change a person.

On a similar note, I had a lot of friends in high school, but there is a saying that goes something like "When we're cool, we're cool".

Spoiler

I sorta made that up

Meaning that it's easy to hang out and have fun, but only real friends will stay with you no matter what. I've had some "friends" turn their backs on me when the going got rough. If you doubt a friendship with someone, you have to figure out if they are friends with you for the right reason.
