People always say that you meet your very best friends in college. While I believe that is true, I think I have a stronger bond with my high school friends, a bond that could not be broken.
In high school, I had a close group of friends. We did everything together. If any of us had a sporting event, a music event, or anything in between, we knew we would have a support group there. When it was pouring down rain, we played the football games together. When it was 100 degrees, we watched each other's soccer games together. We spent almost every weekend together by camping out, going to the lake, watching scary movies, or baking cookies. My group of friends and I were truly inseparable (形影不离的).
High school friends were there for me whenever I was in trouble. They were the first to know when my grandpa died and they were there at the funeral (葬礼), with a shoulder to cry on. When I needed a home away from my home, their door was always open.
I think bonds with friends are closer in high school. We didn't have to focus on what we were going to spend the rest of our lives doing; we only had to focus on our plans for that weekend. When we were in high school, we didn't have to go to the bars to have a fun night. We would sit in a tent or in a backyard and talk about our lives. And that was our wild night.
My high school friends knew me better than I knew myself, and I think a handful of them still know me better than I know myself now. I love my college friends very much, but I have never met anyone in college who means as much to me, as my high school friends meant to me.
