That’s a really interesting point, and a good one. So how do you balance developing deep relationships (which require spending a lot of time together) with maintaining your independence? This may be a question for the ages… let me know if you have the answer! :)

For me it is the kind of time you spend with someone. Instead of just spending lots of meaningless time together, like watching TV or whatnot, make the time matter. Spending an hour alone with someone talking can be worth more than buying the same clothes and going out together every night. I’ve learned that I need to be able to do things alone, to go to the dining hall with the possibility that I will eat alone, but at the same time the chance to sit with some friends I haven’t see in a while. It isn’t about having a lot of friends compared to one really good one. For me it is not being attached to the hip to someone, or having a core of three or four people that I spend all my time with.
