Like Caitie said, I think it's incredibly sad that so many teenagers think it's trendy or "cool" to be depressed. I have a couple friends who have actually struggled with depression and it's absolutely nothing to glorify.

This is nice. My mother is on the phone with me telling me I need more friends. Thanks, mom.

I stopped talking to some people because they did the whole emo thing to be cool. For those of us who have had friends that have really suffered from depression and aren't here to warn others about it...it is f*cking annoying.
But happy thoughts umm...That Adam Pascal guy sure is great don't you think?

Good news!
My performance at school today went very well. I messed up on one of the songs, but the audience really seemed to like it. We had a huge crowd, much larger than I had expected. It was really fun.

She said something about how she thinks I should have half a dozen close friends at school. My response was 'Would you like me to walk around wearing a sign that says: Be my friend!'
Ugh...mothers.

My mom rarely bugs me about issues concerning friendship. She always goes on about how impressive it is to her that I rarely fight with friends. I think I honestly do more of it now that I'm older, but that means they tend not to be petty fights like they might've been when I was younger. Cracks sort of become craters, I guess.
I tend to have a lot of like... mild acquaintences so I'm not lonely, but very few CLOSE friends.

I honestly think my housing situation had a *huge* impact on the way I made friends. Most people I know here who are put into suites like I am either don't really get along with their roommates or the four people are attached at the hips. Lucky for them, they walked into these great friendships.

I think mine is just my temperament. I'm too shy to let people who don't seem my type at first get to know me. I'm like "oh, no, they won't like me," and just don't bother. I'm always afraid people will mistake my shyness for standoffishness, though.

Ok I seriously think I'm going through a depression stage. I spent ans hour last night on my computer typing out my life story and pointing out all the bad things, including the fact that I have no chance to get my grades up before I apply to colleges. I gave the letter to my mom and she called a therapist today. My life is going out of control.

Oh, that's definitely the worst factor-- where you live freshman year. If you love your roommates/suitemates, chances are that you're pretty much set as far as having at least casual friends all throughout college. My best friend is a junior and still living with/very close to her suitemates from freshman year. But if you aren't in a very good suite or hall, it seems like you miss out because most people seem to make their friends in the first couple of weeks of school.

Exactly, SS. That was precisely what happened to me. It also didn't help that during orientation I was not so keen on going partying and such.

eh. Maybe I'm just picky about who my friends are and that's why I have so many casual friends. I don't really make friendships for the sake of having them; so there are people I lived with last year who like... I see sometimes, but I don't make much of an effort because it's awkward when we get together. It's not worth it. But yeah, I agree that the freshman assignments dictate a lot, and it's almost all luck.
Dancinqueen, I'm sure you have time to get your grades up, and remember that your GPA isn't the only thing schools will look at, either.

Em, that's how I am as well.

i'm so exhausted...=/
I am pretty shy when I first meet someone, but once you get to know me I'm not, at all..lol. I don't have as many as I did, but I have at least 5 real close friends. I am not as sky as I was..I am starting to meet more people more easily.
dancinqueen ...i hope everything works out.
the myspace discussion on the Anthony thread is getting to me..enough.

Ha, I love how we're probably scaring all of the incoming college freshman to death about this! It really is just luck, though... and even if you aren't lucky, it'll all be fine.

The worst situation for me is when I'm with two people who know each other. I tend to just sit there. That's also why I'm wary about meeting someone and then doing something with that person and their group of friends. When I'm out of the loop, I tend to just sit there in silence.
With my friends, it's a completely different story. I usually never shut up
I hope we don't scare all the incoming freshmen! In all seriousness, my roommate situation has been incredibly crappy and I'm still alive to tell the tail!

I'm the same way. It's like everyone paired off the first 2 weeks of school and to this day, I'm still the odd person out. I mean, I have people I hang out with and stuff, but very few close friends that I can confide in. My mom freaks out about it, especially after my hell-ish freshmen year. I don't know, it's just complex.

My mom doesn't know about anybody I've become friends with from BWW other than you, Fantab. 'cause we go to school together. I've explained the existence of a lot of people, but sometimes it's confusing to her why I hang out with people who are like... ten years older than me, or people who live across the river rather than people who live like... downstairs.

Skittles, I definitely know what you mean. Orientation was absolutely miserable for me. You really just have to throw yourself out there, even when it's outside your comfort zone. The person who I'm probably closest to in my dorm (note: crappy roommate stories provide excellent bonding material) - I met her because I was having problems with my fridge. She had her door open, she didn't look scary, so I walked in and the rest is history

I did a lot of resting and exploring the city during orientation.
I'm not really into group getting-to-know you activities. Maybe that's why I don't get the people who are all "ORIENTATION WAS THE BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE!!!!"
