I moved out of state for graduate school and had to make all-new friends. In that situation, it's easy to be sociable with your classmates etc., but finding someone you could really open up to is more difficult. I got close to a guy in my program. We would go out to dinner once a week, watch movies, etc. I think he was my best friend in grad school and was first true male friend. After we graduated we moved to different states and lost touch. Sometimes I get a little sad about that.
Anyway, this story just brings up a lot of those good memories and makes me feel nostalgic. Thank you!
