3 Keys to Maintaining Friendships After High School

Because who doesn't miss their high school Bffs?

Once you graduate from Highschool, it can be pretty challenging to keep up with your BFFs. Here is how I've been keeping up with my friends since I started college.

1. Schedule FaceTime or Phone Calls

In post high school life, everyone has different schedules which makes it extra hard to find time to call your friends. One way my friends have navigated this is by scheduling face time calls 2-3 days in advance. This allows everyone involved to adjust their plans if necessary.

2. Send Check in Texts

Sometimes the easiest way to reach out to your friend, is just by sending a "check in text"! Just a simple text message can be an effective way of reminding your friends that you still care about them. Bonus points if you can include a TikTok or Meme that reminds you of them! A meme can be the perfect conversation starter.

3. Understand that sometimes distance is ok

One of the ways I've maintained most of my long term friendships is by acknowledging that you don't have to talk to your BFF everyday to still be BFFs. As long as you both have respect and love for each other, you have what you need to make your friendship last no matter the distance.
