This is the worst feeling ever. I just had a dream where one of my close friends sent me a note saying something along the lines of "I miss you and I don't want to lose your presence," before giving me this huge hug. I have a feeling that my brain is actually trying to tell me that I'M missing my close friend rather than the other way around.

A little context: I took a semester off from school and now I'm an entire grade behind. They're going to graduate this May and I have to wait until this time next year. I don't see a lot of the people I got to know anymore, especially this close friend in the dream. And I'm starting to worry about us growing apart.

I woke up with this horrible feeling of isolation.

How do I maintain good relationships with friends in these conditions? Mind you that we're in an intense school that doesn't really allow for much "chill" time out of class. But I do see them all the time in between classes and lunch.

It feels as though I'm left again to my own devices to figure things out, rather than having around three years of building meaningful relationships to help everyone get to the end. I miss the comradery.
