Let’s say you were about 5 years old. You met your first friend with whom you always played with outside. Several years go by and your childhood friend moves away. You start off writing e-mails but then eventually loose touch. Six years later you see each other at a party and kinda catch up. Loosing touch again 7 years later a weird coincidence is realized. Both childhood playmates end up at the same university never finding out about each other, until after one leaves the university a month before the end of the first semester, due to a sudden change of circumstances. About 15 years went by since they hung out outside. 15 years later they ended up with the same area of concentration in philosophy and psychology. Interesting how people who hung out with each other as little kids still seem to have a lot in common as adults. Would it scare you to receive a message from a childhood friend who one has not seen or heard from in ages?
Coincidence In my opinion. If there was a direct link between playing together as kids and selecting your University degree, it'd be a lot more prominent.
I think it would be pretty awesome to receive a message from a childhood friend who i haven't seen forever. i have had a couple friends from elementary school that i haven't talked to since then. i would love to hear from them again. I also think it would be really cool to catch up with people you used to hang out with when you were younger, like 15 years later, just to see what they are up to and how much they have changed.
My old friends from elementary school and I kinda drifted apart, I still see some of them, but I wouldn't be overjoyed to hear from them, I don't think we have lots in common...This is a small town so I know what's they been doing...I still keep in touch with those who I used to enjoy spending time with...
