I feel like im losing my friends?

[Bob]

Its my second year at university and i feel im losing everyone im close to. The first year i had so many close friends and well all had similar interests, we all wanted the same things and we never felt we needed more than what we had. Now as a second year, everyone has went in a different direction for no special reason. I still have my best friend, but week after week i feel more and more disconnected. Ive opened this subject with my bestfriend several times, and she denies that its true. Can someone explain whats happening? And can i get tips on what i should do? should i go out and do my own thing or should i try harder? is it my fault or is it normal for this to happen. Thank you in advance.
Were all in the same major btw

Freshman year is full of fun, you may not be committed to a major yet and you are enjoying the whole university experience. By the time you are a sophomore you must be more focused on your major, may have gotten into a fraternity or sorority which takes up all your time, and have to answer to your parents about your freshman grades. You need to seek friends which are focused in the same major as you are since you will be around them for the next few years.

It is very normal for this to happen. It's a part of life and growing up. Everyone experiences this. However, just because things are changing and everyone is going in separate directions, doesn't mean that you have to forget about them. For instance, whenever birthdays or special events in your friends' lives come up, you can always extend your wishes and congratulations. If you want to remain friends with people who are important to you then yes you have to do the work. However, that doesn't mean you have to try so hard. Everyone is busy now and doing their own thing, so being real close like before isn't going to be the same. Getting together now will be more for like, birthdays, an occasional dinner, graduation celebration, or a wedding ceremony, etc...

At this stage in life you should be focusing on your future and goals and doing the things that will get you there. You should join clubs or volunteer your time to things that interest you or will support your goals. Plus you're in school still, so a lot of your focus should be on that. But you know what the great thing about living in today's world is? Social media. Back when I was in college it didn't really exist yet. So the way I had to communicate was through standard snail mail, or via phone. So Facebook, email, instagram, and all those other social media hubs will help you stay connected to see how people are progressing in life.

Don't stop trying of course. People are always going to appreciate you reaching out to say hello. But accept that things do change. This will make it easier for you to forge ahead in life. Plus you are going to meet so many new people that will enlarge your circle of friends
