On making new friends

At the age of 19, I am happy to say that I have been blessed with a handful of very good and close friends.

There are people that I went to grade school with and still really close to, and that makes me really happy.
Then, I ventured to high school, all by myself, and had to start the friend making process all over again. But the people I met, and the people I got really close to, I love. Upon reflection, am so glad that I was on my own when I got to high school so that I had the chance to meet them.

So, at the age of 18 or 19, most people can say that they have met people that they see being friends with for the rest of thier lives. I certainly can say that about a small handful of my current friends.

So what do you do when you are thrust into a completely new different enviornment and have to make friends all over again when you know perfectly well that you and they have that group of best friends that they are going to totally call to hang out with over you any day?

Grab the bull by the horns baby, and start talking to everyone so you can at least add a few people to that 'friends forever' handful. I guess...
