Hello fellow TFP'ers

I was thinking last night and something came to mind. I am making a lot of friends and meeting a TON of new people everyday while working at Disney World. I have been here a little over a month and will be leaving Jan. 5, 2006. A thought popped into my head that all these people I have met will all go their seperate ways. All the girls who I care for and all the guys who I hang out with will be gone. All the people I work with and see every day will be gone.

Now in the past I haven't been able to make friends very easily. I'm on the shy side

. I feel like the sudden loss of friends and going back to a friendless life back at home will make me go nuts. I haven't had to handle something like that before. And when I go back home, I'll have to continue with my college work. It'll be too soon for me to get back into the mode I was in before I came here. College work was all I had (plus a ton of online friends, forums, and activities) and I was SO concentrated on my work. I'm afraid that whatever I may feel at the end of the year will have some kind of negative impact on my college work and the concentration I had before.

Is there anything I can do to lessen the pain of the sudden loss of friends? Or all these feeling that I will have be inevitable?
