As most people know, when you leave high school you may stay in touch with a select few people but what about the rest? Today, I witnessed or participated in greetings with various levels of acquaintances.
First there's the awkward Walk-By. This happens when you know someone but you pretend you don't as you pass by.
After this there is the even more awkward niceties if the noticing that you actually know someone is unavoidable. Usually this is ended with, "We should totally hang out sometime!" We all know it will never happen.
A step after that is the "I had a class with you once so I'm going to wave and smile but not waste my time talking to you."
Then we've got the clingers. This is when you were decent friends with someone for a while in school, so they think you're still friends even though you haven't spoken since your last math class in high school. They walk with you or they sit with you while you eat, etc. Incredibly hard to get rid of and they will text you later, but you can just ignore them.
A step up from the clingers are the okay people. These are the ones you actually do hang-out with occasionally. So it's okay for them to do what the clingers do without getting annoying.
Finally you've got your friends. These you make plans with to hang-out and spend time with.
After your friends you've got your simple attack huggers. These are the best of all of them. Who wouldn't want to be squeezed so tightly that you can't breathe for a few seconds? <3
Hope you enjoyed this simple breakdown of relationships once out of college.
Until then,
