Contrary to popular belief, and to everything I've ever said, I don't hate everyone. And even more amazing, I do actually have friends. Why? I don't know. I ask them all the time why they'd suffer through being friends with me but I guess some people like self-torture as much as I do.

I do make fun of myself for not having social skills but that's because I actually don't. So It's even more amazing to me that people want to be around me even though I can't actually make coherent sentences.

Sometimes I feel really lonely in college because I saw it as some magical place where people wouldn't be trash. I hated high school, I hated it so much. So I was hoping that college would be filled with people who care about real things and has passions and dreams and ambitions and were mature. Needless to say, I was sadly mistaken.

Especially last year, I was really worried that I wouldn't make any friends because my personality is the way it is and I don't know how to talk to people so I seem really rude. So for the first like three months of school, I just went to different organizations to get a feel for the people there and to see if any of them were worthy of being my friends. And magically I found some!! However, my original plan was to just sit in my room and sleep until they magically appeared. Which clearly didn't work.

Why are friends so important to me, you ask? Because I don't have any siblings so I'd like to have some people around my own age that I can talk to and relate to. Also, I enjoy connecting with people who have similar interests to my own and talking about them. Lastly, sometimes I just want someone to go do things with and what better people to ask than your friends?! Like some days I want to go to the mall, I go to lots of concerts and I do

The best things about friendships is how they can form. I've made friends online. I've made friends at work. I've even made friends in class. And that's super surprising with my social inept behind.

Being an RM has provided me with built-in friends since we all suffer together trying to put on events. In class, you're suffering through your professor telling you things you don't care about. So basically, bonding over things you hate is ten thousand times more accurate than bonding over things that you actually like.

I think the moral of my friendship conquests is that no matter how absolutely terrible you think you are, and trust me, I'm pretty bad, someone will always wanna be your friend. That's why even people I despise have friends! What I'm learning is that you have to be yourself and someone, somewhere will appreciate it! It's just a matter of finding one another.
