5 Of The Weirdest Ways I've Made Friends In College, All True Stories

Some of them are more weird than others.

Making friends in high school is much different than making friends in college.

In college, you can make friends in the most unusual ways. Being a third year in college, I have had my fair share of unusual friendship making.

1. I Met My Closest Friend On Yik Yak

Remember Yik Yak, that incredibly controversial app that was really popular a while back? Yeah, I met my good friend through that. (Wow, a lot of that ryhmed.) Yik Yak was known for being a breeding ground for bullying, men asking for sex from strangers and complete nonsense. I took a chance one night at college after marching band practice where I saw a post inviting strangers to play Cards Against Humanity. Not only is Yik Yak a weird way to meet someone, but playing this card game with someone during your first interaction is a bit odd as well. We still laugh about it to this day.

2. My Sperm And Egg Cell Keychains

This one was more embarrassing than I'd like to admit, to be honest. I had just gotten off of the bus from my only class of the day when I felt a tap on my shoulder and some random guy asking about my keychains. This was fine, but then I had to awkwardly explain how I wasn't a science major and just had a weird sense of humor.

3. The Dining Hall

Not super weird but, as a new college student fresh out of high school, it was incredibly weird. In high school, you have your clique you don't normally stray from. In college (at least on my campus), if you sit alone long enough, someone will come join you and introduce themselves.

4. Getting Hit In The Head With A Snowball

He actually aimed for my head, cracked up, and I proceeded to pelt him back with snowballs. Beautiful weather can bring out the best in people.

5. Having Someone Try To Get Into My Truck... Thinking It Was Their Truck

This was a more recent occurrence. I went outside to head to work and there was a guy pulling at my truck door looking frustrated. I've never seen a grown man blush more than him when he saw me unlock my truck with my set of keys. I think he felt obligated to be my friend after that.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
