What It's Like Having No Friends In College
didyouknow.com

Coming into college as a little freshman I knew making friends was going to be hard, but I didn't think it would be like this. At first I was very open to meeting new people and experiencing new things, but I quickly found out no one here shares the same values as me. While I have met a bunch of great girls I just haven't found anyone like me.

The first few weeks I thought I would go out to parties to meet new people, but being the sober one who has a boyfriend back home quickly made partying not fun. Everyone I was surrounded by was drinking, except me. I told myself this isn't who I want to surround myself with.

That is what seems to be the problem - all everyone wants to do is go to parties to drink and meet guys. I have no need to do either, therefore I always pass on going to a party. This has caused me to have no friends. Every weekend I sit alone in my room watching Grey's Anatomy and knitting, yes knitting. While this is fine, we all need alone time, for me, it is literally every Friday and Saturday night. I cannot seem to find anyone that just wants to order pizza and watch movies all night.

While I am surrounded by so many people, I cannot seem to fit with anyone. Even the girls who I thought were similar to me still just want to party, and that's not me. Even the girls who don't drink like me, have started drinking. Even if I do make a friend they end up being pushy and always beg me to go to parties. I guess I'll just have to wait it out and see if I meet anyone this next semester.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
