Graduating from high school is a harsh reality. For those 13 years (including kindergarten), your brain is trained to believe that you will always have over 30 close friends. Summer breaks tend to cool that assumption but once fall shows its face, you go back to your friend culture.
When I was in high school I had a few really close friends and a ton of good friends. Once I graduated, I felt shell shocked. If you attended a local college, you were fortunate enough to continue that friendship further. However, if you moved away from home for college you came to the hard reality that you had to start over. Sure...you would have your best friend still to talk to on the phone or by email. But one thing you noted is that having to start over making friends is tough work.
