i just spent the last hour facebook stalking people from high school.

after getting over the initial shock that most of these people I have not seen in at least four years, I realized two things:

1) at the time, my high school was probably about a tenth the size of Columbia University Undergrad but was at least ten times more diverse. (CU has racial diversity but there is very little diversity in terms of expperience.)

2) Though I had a ton of friends in high school (most of whom I no longer talk to), the quality of my current friendships (as few of them as there may be) are SOO much better. Hell, I feel like even my bonds with my college associates contain more substance than most of my high school friendships. Glad to know I’m doing something right.
