Well-known member
After a summer of frequent isolation, college has been a nice change of pace. It's lonelier than high school; some of my friends are there too, but I don't have many classes with them. Our free periods don't line up, so I'm alone during those. The weather's still nice, so I just go to the nearby trail to pass the time. I don't know what I'll do when winter rolls around.
I've met some old acquaintances, but I haven't talked to many people I didn't know prior to arriving at the college. Most of my classes are decently populated, but there's only 3 people in french. Me, a girl who was in my french class for years (I know her somewhat well) & a girl I've never met before. I can easily talk to folks I know a bit, but when it comes to talking to people I don't know at all, I start thinking they're not interested in talking to me. Then I start getting nervous & doing stupid things.
Anyways, we had a few brief discussions. She's apparently doing some art-related courses, which is right up my alley. I don't have any artistic friends, which has been a source of much frustration. It'd be nice to have someone to talk about art-related stuff with. Just to be clear, I'm not looking for an intimate relationship of any sort, I just hope to make a few friends. It'd be nice to have someone to talk to when you bump into them around the campus, y'know?
Well, that's all I've to say. Pretty ho-hum, I know, but it's a nice spark of hope as opposed to my usual pessimism. If you happened to have read this whole thing, thanks for hearing me out, even though I didn't say much. Feel free to share your own post-secondary experiences, maybe someone will have a better story than mine.
