Call your friends every two weeks

     Now I don't mean your friends you met at your university. Not the ones you just met but your friends far away, the friends you made before the separation of college. The friends who you shared your high school memories with.
     This may seem easy at first but as college progresses they will grow out of your lives because you hardly see them. College can become time consuming at some points but we can take the time to call people every once in awhile. Skype video or Oovoo video can constitute as a call too but text messages, Facebook and Twitter don't. When you are talking its more personal and more words can be said in a period of time.
     Calling someone can really make their day. They will feel you care for them. Keeping in touch is important these days. Anything can happen at this very moment. I had a friend pass away one month ago and I didn't talk to him for more than one year. I made it my goal to call my closest friends every two weeks so I knew how they were doing and if the worst happened, I knew I talked to them before the end.
    One of the biggest benefits is when you come home for winter and summer break, you have some people to hang out with. You kept in contact with them and now you can finally see them. In the long-run, calling your friends every two weeks will pay off. And for you people who worry about their minutes and paying for them, call after 9 P.M. Almost every cell phone company provides their customers with free minutes at night.
