i too lost some friends when i finished school, but all the important people i still have contact with. at first i found it hard not to have someone around all the day, but you get to know others you probably never would have met while staying with the people you know. at first this feeling of having fewer friends bothered me a lot, but you just have to look around. aren't many people looking for friendship as well? i chose mine carefully, and i would go through fire for them as they would for me. that's very good to know, like having the telephone joker left in "who wants to be a millionaire". 
quite a lot of people are of the opinion that they succeed or whatever in life when they have MANY friends. but quality matters, as always. when i speak of friends i speak of what others may call their best friends. people to rely on.

I have a hard time respecting people, therefore I have few friends. I enjoy discussing politics, music, current events, and very few people share this interest, and even fewer are actually informed enough to warrant my attention. That's why this board has been such a wonderful release for me. There's only one person aside from this board whom I actually respect (and he posts here too, so go figure), so I've enjoyed having more than one person to talk to about things that truly interest me.
I have a small group of friends whom I've known since high school. We have different interests now (see above), but we still have fun and know each other so well that it's hard to start over.
I tried. I went to a university far, far away for my first year, and despite living in a dorm and joining a fucking sorority mid-year (can you believe that?!), I couldn't find anyone that I wanted to hang out with. I sheepishly transferred to the school closer to home, where all my friends were. And I've never regretted it. I love this area.
But I haven't made a single new friend in college that I'll actually keep in touch with. And it wasn't for lack of trying (the sorority mishap, for example). I joined a couple clubs, and found everyone to be so token and cliched.
I think if I met my current friends now I wouldn't like them either. But thankfully our friendships are deeper than that now, so it doesn't matter.
But I know I'll never have a big social circle. It's just not me.
