Talk to Your Friends; It Can Really Help
userscontent2

Choosing to live in the dorms at Fresno State was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life; the people I've met, the friends I've made, the things I have done, were all made possible because I chose to live in the dorms.

In fact, I've made a group of friends who have opened by eyes to what friendship truly is, unlike my friends I had back in high school. But no group of friends is, unfortunately, without their problems, problems that I had never seen coming.

See, in my group of friends, two of them got together as a couple, which worked out great at first. There were no awkward merging of groups, or introductions where people made bad first impressions, everyone simply knew each other and was okay with everything happening.

(Of course, why wouldn't we be?)

Then subtle changes started to happen, changes that I thought only I had been seeing. I won't delve into what these problems where specifically, but to sum everything up, the couple seemed to think themselves as superior to everyone else because they were in a relationship.

And also, their attitudes changed significantly; one started to make jokes that...didn't feel like jokes, and the other began to get snippy with everyone they talked to, on any subject. All in all, it started to get exceptionally annoying.

At first, I thought I was the only one who had been noticing these things, and as a result, I was getting down. Maybe it was just my imagination; maybe they weren't acting that way, maybe I was just overthinking it.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.
