Distance

When I graduated from Walnut High School, everyone told me that I would see my classmates all the time because I go to Mt. SAC. It is simply not true. I will admit that on the first week of SAC, I saw loads of Walnut people there. Now that my schedule is settled, I barely see anyone from Walnut. What I don't get is that my friends who go to Berkeley or Pepperdine get more attention, simply because they are further away from Walnut. Many of my friends tell me that they get more comments and phone calls because they are off to a far away college. What is this blasphemy? I don't think distance is the problem here. What we lack as humans is connection. If someone is going somewhere far away, a friend might say a comment about "How I miss you! I have loads to tell you!" People, have you not heard of a phone? I connect with my friends just the same and I feel that there is no distance. You kind of get what I'm saying? My situation is that I am a tad bit jealous of my friends who get special attention simply because the distance is greater than mine. If you really cared, you would pick up a phone and call because like I said,

Distance is no match for a great friendship.
