The biggest challenge for my group of friends and I is geographic separation. When we all went off to separate colleges, we become distant for the first year and made other friends. However, when everyone came home the following summer it was like nothing had happened at all.

I love that our group of friends can not talk for weeks because of busy schedules but when we get together it's like no time has passed
