Keep your friends close

Well it's now September. The time of year I usually associate with going back to school. I don't mind going back to school as it means I get to meet up with all my friends and have a laugh.

But this September it is a bit different. I have left High School and started sixth form. This means that I am not at the same school as all of my friends anymore. All of us are busy with school work and settling back into the routine of school. It's odd not being with everyone. This has made me realise how important my friends are.

I know that throughout our life we will lose and gain friends on the way but I would like to think that I will stay in touch with my best friends for the next couple of years.

It is important to keep your friends close and not take them for granted. It does not take much to text, email, phone or write to them every now and then. It's good to let your friends know that you care and have not forgot them.
