Advice on coping after moving sixth forms

Posting here as well cause idk where this goes. I moved to a new school for sixth form this year because my old secondary was far away from where I lived and I wanted somewhere closer (amongst other reasons, including wanting to have friends that actually live somewhat near to me). I have really enjoyed the first few weeks but am struggling because most of my old friends bar a couple have stayed at my old school, so I really enjoy my day at school then get back home and it suddenly hits that all my friends have spent the day together, and I feel quite disconnected. It also doesn't help that the people I'm making friends with atm were internals at my new sixth form so kinda already have a grp. Anyone had the experience of simultaneously being glad u left your old school and being sad you did? Any way to cope with that nostalgic/ sad feeling when you see your old friends together at the school that you used to go to. Ig it is also harder that I did genuinely love my old school, I just needed a change. It was a pull not a push factor if yk what I mean.
hey so sorry about this, sucks that you lost your friends, i kinda know smth about this. feel free to pm me if you wanna talk :smile:
