If you thought the clicks dissolved in highschool, producing mature, educated youths, you were sadly mistaken! When you make friends during Orientation week, just remember that you're probably drunk for the majority of the week and yes, your judge of character isn't at its peak. When you arrive at university it's a fresh start. A chance to make new friends, the opportunity to create an elevated lifestyle. So you want to make a hot first impression. So does everyone else. Before you decide on an elite group of close friends- you know the one that is your family from home- get to know them first; they may turn out to be normal or you could get stuck with self righteous juveniles. A word of caution: when picking friends, don't make any decisions based on first impressions. You'll regret it later. Im sure that, by now, you're familiar with common concept that people tend to show their true colours when they're drunk. Don't make excuses for friends who turn into complete psychos when they are drunk- there are probably severely damned characteristics that scream out “I'm an undercover wackjob”! You have to ask yourself, with friends like these, who needs enemies? Even if you were one of those oddballs in highschool who didn't conform to the usual clicks, like the jocks or the socialites, there's still hope for you. If you are lucky , you find a small group of people who accept you, flaws and all, for who you are. Although these people are as common as rare stones, they tend to find you in times of great need. Making the right friends in first year is a difficult challenge. The only way to do so is to learn from your mistakes, take the good and the bad in your stride. At the end of the day, finding friends illuminates your university experience.
Regards,
More the wise
