During my first month at UMW I have made many discoveries. One of those was a harrowing discovery of friendship.
The transition to college was honestly really hard for me starting off. I’m a very shy person overall when I’m in unfamiliar situations, so talking to new people and making friends was really hard for me. I’m not necessarily a ‘put myself out there’ kind of person. Even talking to my professors one on one was a big leap for me. It’s sort of frustrating at times because I know what kind of person I am–funny, caring, smart, supportive–yet nobody would know because I’m simply too shy to let them know. It made me miss my friends from home–the people who already knew me and accepted me.
Because I have such a strong trust in my hometown friends, it made trusting new people hard as well. I liked to say that I was very picky about who I am friends with (probably because I am), but it made me limit myself to closing myself off from people.
Luckily, my roommate was much better at making friends than I was, and she generously forced me into her friend group. Her friends turned out to be people who I also somewhat clicked with, and while they’re not the same as the friends I left back home, they are good people who make my time at UMW much more enjoyable! I wasn’t necessarily actively looking to make friends as quick as possible, and in the end, I knew the right people would find me when it was time.
Because of this, I’m looking forward to making many new friends once I become involved in the things that I really want to do! The future surely does look bright ๊(หตห แ หหต)
