To be brutally honest I ' ve never really burned bridges technically besides one time at my work placement At the time there was a law student there fair enough . I was meant to get practical legal training as a paralegal , instead once a week I attended for the six months I only did reception admin work . I never inquired about it because i didn ' t want to seem ungrateful . At the end of the semester I left without giving them any notice . I ' m a law student now it ' s not like I ' ll go back there any way for work experiencevolunteer work because it ' s no longer convenient for me location at the time I was in a relationship with my exgirlfriend , who lived around there at the timeIn regards of friends hard to say , I only have a few now . The sad fact of life is you eventually drift from one social group to another . I don ' t talk to anyone from highschool that includes my best friend that I knew for over 13 years . You move on find new friends in your circle depending on your circumstances such as work .
