You were in the #summer of ur life and the college you're attending is now your winter
Live fast, die young, study hard, & have fun

I miss uni so much...

I already drifted apart from all my friends at home, they all act like different people, even my closest friends...

Whereas my uni friends have been much more real and considerate even over the summer...

Uni hasn't been easy at all for me, took me while to socialise, took me a while to get the hang of the workload, but I am ready for round 2.

Can't wait to go back. Last 9 days.

Thank you

Words to live by

Omg same
I have a few friends acting up idk what's wrong with them tbh

EXACTLY.

All they talk about is speeding in their Mercedes cars (while I drive my mom's 20 year old car), 40k dollar watches (which they can't afford), making fun of overweight people (while I, an overweight person sits next to them) etc.

I am also getting the impression that my 'closest friend' has been talking behind my back a bit...

I am a very sociable person but these guys changed way too much for me to sit and be friends with them... Like from making plans together, it came to the point where I have to ask them what they are doing to be involved. That's sad, makes me feel desparate (which I am not)...

Hense I miss uni so much despite not really having the most amazing first year... it was at least better than this summer. I always felt loved and respected by 3x as many people as I do at home at any given point..

Don't hang out with people like them
Seriously
They could be laughing and mocking your weight behind your back

thankfully I'm happy with myself Yes I have some weight to lose, but I don't let that get the best of me, plus I have other redeeming qualities

And I know, I'm absolutely disgusted by some of their behaviour (risking their lives and others' lives by driving at 200 mph - it's stupid, talking about all the girls they want to shag - I am bi and like girls but it feels immature and so darn idiotic to objectify people of any gender, them making fun of people etc.)

I even caught my 'best' friend talking behind my back a couple of times, so I'm pretty much done. I had a fight with him, everyone knew about it 10 mins later.

I used to be super close with these guys... It's quite sad to see them lose all their senses...

University is lovely. I started a few weeks ago and yes the classes are a pain in the ass for me, but it's a much better experience than HS.

And it's true, no matter what you do, friends from school will drift away. It can get ugly, cause you'd think this person is so trustworthy, but then they stop talking to you cause really there's no reason to be friends with you anymore (since you don't go to the same uni and thus your notes aren't needed anymore, etc).

You can still do a lot of that if you manage your time right!

preach

I graduated with honors and rarely stayed up late studying. The key is managing time, learning the proper way to study, not procrastinating, and also looking for patterns that teacher's use on exams (i.e. the exam format/structure types of questions asked etc. )

Try joining a club! That will likely be the place where you'll meet good friends because they'll have similar interests. I'm thinking of starting a club for young artists where we bring in work every week for critique, have some guest talks, and cover different topics in art like curating, the business side of the industry, look at work from current artists, etc. And then do a show at the end of the year of all of our stuff. I can't afford it though, and NYU is super ****** when it comes to funding for stuff like this, so idk if it'll happen

Things are great *for now*
I don't have friends at the moment but I don't really care if I don't hve any friends during this year
There's a hot guy at my class but the sad thing is i only get to see him 2 times a week sad i know
I'm happy tbh and my life is going great unlike last year
