What It's Like Having No Friends In College
didyouknow.com

Coming into college as a little freshman I knew making friends was going to be hard, but I didn't think it would be like this. At first I was very open to meeting new people and experiencing new things, but I quickly found out no one here shares the same values as me. While I have met a bunch of great girls I just haven't found anyone like me.

The first few weeks I thought I would go out to parties to meet new people, but being the sober one who has a boyfriend back home quickly made partying not fun. Everyone I was surrounded by was drinking, except me. I told myself this isn't who I want to surround myself with.

That is what seems to be the problem - all everyone wants to do is go to parties to drink and meet guys. I have no need to do either, therefore I always pass on going to a party. This has caused me to have no friends. Every weekend I sit alone in my room watching Grey's Anatomy and knitting, yes knitting. While this is fine, we all need alone time, for me, it is literally every Friday and Saturday night. I cannot seem to find anyone that just wants to order pizza and watch movies all night.

While I am surrounded by so many people, I cannot seem to fit with anyone. Even the girls who I thought were similar to me still just want to party, and that's not me. Even the girls who don't drink like me, have started drinking. Even if I do make a friend they end up being pushy and always beg me to go to parties. I guess I'll just have to wait it out and see if I meet anyone this next semester.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
