Friendship change in early adulthood tracks life transitions more than age, and friendship networks expand into young adulthood.
In practice
A first-year student leaning on home friends, "friendsickness," until new friends build a sense of belonging.
Where people slip
Friends often discuss dating and sex and can give more support than family during times of change.
