Is it normal to cry,during a farewell of the people you ped,5 years with?

YES IT"S NORMAL! And NEVER feel bad or embarred about how you feel. I am also graduating this year and I'm terribly sad. It's normal to miss those that you have known and been around for so long. They leave an imprint on your life. And I agree, try to keep in touch with your friends. But also try to remember that you are moving forward with your life. Remember the past but live in the present!
