We come to college and build awesome friendships with a lot of people. These people come from different walks of life and they may not be from the same place as us. When we go home it’s often easy to get caught up in home life and lose contact with these friends. Here are some ways to keep in touch with your college friends.
Phone Calls
In this day and age texting has become the norm. Some of us are not capable of holding a five minute conversation over the phone. Phone calls actually show someone that you care. You want to hear their voice and you miss them. A short phone call to ask about the weather or a long call to talk about what happened during the week is nice.
FaceTime or Skype
If you have a friend that lives three hours away from you and you’re longing to see them, give them a FaceTime or Skype call. You’ll be speaking with them face to face and it’ll be like you’re together once again.
Write Letters
Yes, I know stamps are very expensive and you’d rather send a long text message, but there’s something about getting to open a letter in the mail that makes people happy. Maybe write a letter once a month for the three months that you’ll be away from school. It shouldn’t cost that much money.
Visit
Make plans with your friend. If you’re able to drive, take a bus or a train, take the time out and visit your friend. A weekend of fun is bound to happen when you’re around your college friends.
Plan A Trip
Summer is a great time to take a week or weekend trip. If you couldn’t be with your friends during Spring Break, this is the perfect time for a trip to happen.
Have Fun
