I have cried too much in public recently. (Victoria)
Sometimes events and situations nd budding friendships don’t turn out how you want them to. You lay in bed at night fantasizing about all these new friends you’re making and all the fun you’ll have together. Then you end up walking through the city in the wee hours of the morning in tears. Again. And then you get homesick for those friends you could just party with with no reservations an have a blast and you could talk to your parents, or your siblings or anyone. Even just to tell Daddy your rent is due soon. And you wonder who, of all the people you’ve met recently, want to hang onto you and who you want to hang on to. Because we all know you don’t want all of them.
But then you realise, you’re capable o going a week without a mobile and you’ve got those acquaintances in multiple tutes and lectures who you’ll grow closer to – it’s only second week after all – it’s only two to three weeks til you go home and another week after that that you’ll be spending ALL WEEKEND at Supanova, possibly with an old friend and it’s probably for the best you didn’t have a big night because you can’t really afford it at the moment. And you listen to your favourites playlist and get all warm and fuzzy, like when some of your friends watched your favourite movie with you at 3am because you were upset and you number one is hours away and still manages to comfort you.

Hey Victoria, I know exactly what you mean! Making new friends is harder than I imagined at uni… there are so many people that you meet, but most of them you never see again/you don’t see until the next tutorial/you can’t find in your lecture of 500 students!! But I guess we just have to trust that solid friendships will come… I know for sure I hadn’t made good friends after 2 weeks of highschool after all! And yet I ended up blessed with some really beautiful friends by the end of year 12… things take their time unfortunately!
Hey Simone and Victoria,
I agree, it is a crazy time of transition and I find my-self going up the staircase of Baillieu Library with only my loyal backpack. But there are heaps of nice people everywhere, and I hope every one of us finds comfort and trust in the form of a great friend and friends.
i hate the staircase of Bailieu. It’s wrong. It tells me to keep to the right which goes against everything I know about driving, or walking, or standing on escalators.
I am with you fellow crier! For the first two weeks I swear I was close to tears almost all the time. Finding friends at uni can be hard, since lectures can be so big and you take so many different classes at different times. But it does happen eventually, I think of myself as a really antisocial person and I made some really good friends 🙂 And with facebook and text you and your best friend will always be there for each other 🙂 Good luck!

Hahah, I know!! So many confusing moments when you don’t know whether you are on the correct side or the other person.
