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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
