Welcome to Gaia! ::

I know I'll stay in touch with my closest uni girlfriends, although that's probably only 5 or so people. They're all either working in the city, or doing double degrees so they'll be there for another two years. Hopefully that means we can meet during lunch breaks or for dinner after work.

But there'll be a lot of people I won't see around because the network just isn't there. I think I'm more likely to stay in touch with my extended high school group - everone knows each other and events get organised.

I just checked this up. There are 228 people in my school year level's facebook group. That's out of about 360 people. No need for a directory - facebook fulfills all your stalking needs!

Besides, I bump into people at the shops all the time anyway. It's not like many people have moved away from the suburb...

It's very strange. When you finish high school you have dress up day, graduation, end of year breakfast, etc. There's a really big celebrationary feel with everyone taking lots of photos and getting stuff signed - so it actually feels like you're finishing.

At the end of uni, people are graduating on different dates, some people are doing 5 year degrees so they aren't graduating at all, and the campus is so big you don't even see everyone who's finishing up. So on the one hand it feels like just another day, except it isn't...
