moved to a college 92 miles from home. In high school I had a few good
friends, 2 people you could probably call "best friends."Overall I had
alot of acquaintances, sat at the lunch table with about 8 other
people. I was by no means popular, and was part of the "druggy" group.
I had one girlfriend throughout high school. I was basically the guy
that everyone liked to a degree in school, but never called to hang
out, or invited to big parties or anything. I just had my main 2-4
friends I generally hung out with outside of school. I was ok with it I
guess. Anyways, I went to college, and after about 4 months I started
finding people exactly like me. It was seriously amazing. My friends
from my hometown were not like me that much, and didn't really seem to
connect to most of my interests and stuff, except really my best
friend, who also went to the same college as me. I didn't really know
it when I was in highschool, but after I made new friends in college, I
realized I had some pretty shitty friends back in highschool. I have no
idea if it is true for everyone, but for me specifically, I found alot
more versions of my "best friend" from highschool. It was very awesome.
Started getting called to hang out and invited out to things more
often, found some ladies that had similar interests, and basically
started to enjoy life alot more. So to answer your question, yes, I did
find my social group in college. However I did not have to become a
"bro" to do so, although I see alot of people go down that road. Just
be fairly outgoing, and nice around people. I never went to any of
those "mixer" events or any shit like that, I just found my group in my
hometown bestfriends dorm, playing Halo and eventually Smash. If you
see some people you think would be pretty cool to hang out with in the
dorm, just walk in and talk to them. That's what I did and it worked
out great Good luck in college dude, I hope you find your people. |
