" It was my last day at home, Saturday, and my friend from high school, Nicole, was having a get together at her house. I was a little skeptical at first - I&amp;#039;ve heard way too many horror stories about how &amp;#039;awkward&amp;#039; it was after months of being apart from old friends. But I needed to go, I missed them all too much. I&amp;#039;d seen my &amp;#039;core four&amp;#039; best friends already (we danced together), it couldn&amp;#039;t be that bad, right? Then again, I did spend my whole life with those three.  I was right. When I got there, it was like we never left. My six close girlfriends from high school (we called ourselves SEVEN, original huh?) had not changed, at all. Granted, there were more piercings or tattoos and some were tanner, but they were still the same girls I left over the summer. Along with the girls, were the guys... who, inevitably, had not changed whatsoever. Still the same annoying, crazy guys I grew up with! Between parties, awful professors, relationships, parents, homesickness - we all had a lot to talk about. And when the night was over, I didn&amp;#039;t want to leave! None of us did! It was a great way to close off my Thanksgiving break - I really missed all of them! We&amp;#039;re planning a huge party for Christmas break though! I&amp;#039;ll keep you posted!
