This is 40: Boring?

My most recent column for the Georgetowner looks at a reader's concern that her friends are too boring, now that they have moved out of the college years and into real life with jobs, houses, and families. I honestly get what she is talking about - it can be shocking to wake up and realize that an entire date night conversation focused on gutter improvement (I've been there). But at the same time, we do grow out of relationships, and if this reader is feeling so resentful of her college friends, perhaps she should take some time to seek out new ones. It's challenging to make new friends in midlife, but there's something freeing about being able to choose the people you spend your time with - rather than carving a social life out of a dorm room assignment (or a cubicle assingment, for that matter). You can read the whole question and my response here.
