See you around - This means that you will see the person possibly more than once or on a regular basis in the near future. This usually applies when the people live within the same or neighboring areas where they will likely meet often. It’s not a promise or a commitment to a future meeting date. It might just happen considering the circumstances such as proximity. See you soon – This is said as a goodbye or farewell to someone you are going to meet again, usually after making plans to meet again a short while later. Sometimes it does not necessarily mean that the people will see each other again, just a wish or hope. See you later - This is said when parting from someone with a certainty of seeing each other again later in the same day usually after making concrete plans to meet again. However, it can also be used as slang for goodbye, the later being anytime in the future.
