Passing of Time

So its been a while since we all left school...I know I miss the routine of it, and the seeing the familiar faces..even to the point of having the responsibility to submit your work, and have someone tell you what to do and when...But now we are out in the big bad world, how are we coping? have we grown up significantly? has our group of friends changed? do you still say "we have to catch up for a coffee sometime" but it doesnt ever really happen, not on purpose, but just doesnt happen...So is the moving on from high school, a time for people to reflect on the person they have become and the freindships they hold? or is moving on from high school a time to reflect and be thankful for the era that we managed to live through, which is quiet miraculous considering what high school is these day? Just because we have survived high school does that mean the freindships we held in high school survived? And if we did not survive high school: ie; you left depressed or failed all your exams, didnt get into uni etc..do you lose contact with the world you lived in for so long? I got into uni, but deferred for a year, and now, is it becuase i deferred? i have lost almost all contact with my high school freinds? What does it all mean?
