True friends are there for you when you need them, even if you just want to talk. They are still by your side even if they are hundreds of miles away. Distance can't get in the way of friendship. It wasn't as easy for our parents, who didn't have the technology we do, to keep in touch. We have the privilege of being able to communicate with people around the world in an instant.
Technology almost eliminates the distance between two people.
We never knew what it was like to not be able to communicate easily at long distances. I don't know what life without that technology would have brought. But I do know one thing. I wouldn't have made it through the first-year college experience without my friends from back home. We had been together for the better part of the last four years, and there is nothing stopping us from being together forever, no matter what the distance.
