Back in
high school, I didn’t have to go out of my way to see my friends because they
are all under the same building. I would see them walking through the hall or
sit with them during lunch. I would occasionally hang out with them at parties
or during after school activities but it wasn’t a necessity to see them outside
school because you saw them there so much.
The
thing I would have to say I’m struggling the most with is social time or time
for myself. I realize I spend most days and nights in my room constantly doing
my homework. Though it is a good habit to get into, I miss constantly having
friends around me. And though some eager college students may be the exact
opposite, I am really committed to my school work, especially during the week,
because I want to do better than I did in high school. But, though I might be
doing better academically, I’m struggling with meeting new people and relaxing
a little more. Is being really social imperative to the college life?
Yet I constantly
find myself in my room doing work, I miss hanging out with my friends all the
time. I haven’t specifically made time for the friends I have here because I’m
always doing work. Yet, thinking about it, if I’m not happy and surrounded with
positive supportive friends, I might wind up, overall, disliking the experience
of college and not wanting to be here in general
So this
week I decided to change it up. I got most of my homework done early enough so I
can text my friends and meet them for lunch, or go hang out with them in a
dorm, or even go down town. I need to realize that school is important but
having social time to relax and get to know more people on campus is too.
