Friends of the New Co-op

Moving out of a college town and into the working world is a major change. It will be difficult to find new friends in a new city that I know nothing about. Even though my old friends live several hours away, I do not plan to abandon them. I foresee a couple road trips in the near future. Hopefully, gas prices will remain low. 

I have made several friends on the job site. True, there is a small age gap, and it will be interesting to see how we relate. For instance, I am going with a couple co-workers to see another co-worker in a volunteer-based play at a small theater. Also, I find myself lost and alienated in conversations that I can not offer any tidbits of knowledge, i.e. home loans, diaper purchases, life insurance, marriage disagreements, aging pains, etc. I’ll just observe their situations and hopefully demonstrate wisdom when I approach these frightful circumstances. I have no idea which direction my adventure of new friendships will take me, but I do have a feeling that my social spending habits will change.
