Can we be honest? You didn't need any convincing! You were already like that. Welcome home, stranger. Can we be honest? You didn’t need any convincing! You were already like that.

They ask, "What have you been up to?" What they really want is a small window into who you have become while they were gone. They want you to open yourself back up to them and reconnect after 2 years of absence. If you answer, "Not much...school, work...you know..." then the conversation is ended and they go away not knowing who you are and how much you've grown. In Maryland everyone is highly interested in each other because time restrictions. So many students are out there for internships and know that they only have 3 months to get to know others and make new friends. They waste no time getting into your heart and showing you that they are ready to be a true friend. Wouldn't it be nice if we all treated each other that way? Well, Shaun, you've convinced me!
