You know, I was more than content to stay at home all the time - but you're absolutely right about the impact of that. I don't think it's necessarily a good way for anyone to live, especially when you're still just trying to start out in life.

I hope you're able to go by the start of the new semester; I completely understand the situation with your friends. When I stayed back to take another year of high school, all of the people I hung around with moved on the college or university and found it hard to find the time to hang out. It's perhaps the hardest part about moving forward. You're so used to seeing these people every day, and then all of a sudden it's "twice a semester, if we're lucky".

Not to scare you, of course - it sounds like you plan to stay relatively close to some of your friends in post-secondary, so it shouldn't be such a hassle. I just have one friend who goes to school out of town, so getting together with her can be very tricky when we've all got different schedules.
