Worth The Effort?

So this has been on my mind lately. Scary thought is that I'm going to be finishing up college in a year (a junior right now). Hopefully going to have a job, a place to live as well after graduating. But you see those things will take care of themselves, I mean I'm worried about them but frankly opportunities will arise and the Lord will see that I'm gonna be doing something after my four years of higher education.

What I'm actually worried about is the relationships that I'm forging/have been forging for the past few years. I will honestly say right now that there are people who I DO NOT want to lose sight of. I'm sure you know what I'm trying to say, but there are friends out there for me that I am not willing to give up. 

I don't want to just remember them from time to time.
I don't want to just see them at <insert whatevereth> reunion.
I don't want to lose the ones I consider to be my "best" friends. 

What I want is:

To be in touch with them for the rest of my life. 
Keep the friendship going and know how they're doing. 
Be there for them whenever, wherever, for whatever and vice versa. 

Now I'll admit that I've so failed to do this with a good amount of my friends from high school and its that mistake thats made me realize how I dont want to repeat that again. 

So guess another challenge/goal is when you go out into the real world, into a new beginning will you keep the ones that you hold dear with you throughout your life or will they become mere shadows of the past to you, remembered only by recollection?  


Is this not worth the effort?
