It is about 3AM in the morning. I know that I have been posting a lot and I was going to stop, but I just have to post this one last thing because it is pretty amazing.
So appearently at harvard, they have a steakhouse and a bunch of other places to eat that you can go to 24/7. At my college, we have one place that only serves a handful of things until 3am...ya
This is where it gets better. It turns out they guy from harvard and his friend are both from near where I live. They both know my friend from baseball from high school haha such a random connection.
At my college, friday night isn't really a big thing. Its usually saturday that is the big night so we will see what happens tomorrow. The whole day has actually been fairly crazy. During biology, I was looking at some clothes online, I found some very nice pieces for good prices too. It all just happened so fast though and my laptop just fell to the ground. The mainframe is a bit loose, but for the most part it works fine for now. I will try to get it fixed during winter break because I have a 3 year warranty that can pretty much fix everything.
I got some homework done and went out and socialized and networked. I also played my first complete game of bong yhatzee.
All in all, I am still having trouble finding some chill people to really commit my next 4 years of college with. I am giving it till the end of the month before I really start to take this seriously. It is my opinion that people are still getting used to college and haven't fully adjusted yet.

I'm reasonably sure a mainframe is not a part of a laptop, but as you know, I'm here because of a disturbing curiosity and not to nitpick at your word choice. Things certainly seem to be in a less aggravated state since last I checked in. Good luck finding people.

Takes a year for most people to adjust to College methinks. I feel really bad for people in the US who have to maintain their GPAs, because freshmen year is always chaotic.

Ivies/Stanford are awesome. Soooooo many international girls who are lonely and rich; which means lots of free dinners and dates if you just treat everyone as a friend with benefits

As a recent college graduate, I can say that you will likely not find exactly who you should spend your next 4 years with. People will beak up / start dating, get in huge fights, etc. So basically, maintaining a single friendship group is very difficult to do.
For example, at the end of my first year, I thought I found a core group of friends that I would keep for the rest of college: a dating couple, another guy and myself. The couple broke up ~1/3 into the year, I ended up dating the girl (and later breaking up with her too), and the other guy got so involved with his school work that he stopped talking to us. So by the end of college, non of us talk to each other anymore, at all. Conversely, I made new and good friends steadily for all 4 years, even in my last semester.
What I'm trying to say is, don't think about friendship as some time commitment. You probably haven't met anyone you would commit 4 years to, just like you probably have never wanted to propose to a girl after only knowing her for a month.

You should write a short story out of this.

You know who is a sophomore at Harvard that you should try to date? The daughter of China's future President, Xi Mingze

Don't bother trying to hunt down these people, especially in the first year. Long-term contacts/friendships aren't selected, and people change dramatically even after the freshman year. Take your time on this.

If you're really eager, find people who have done anything before university. There's a massive difference between some naive highschooler leaving home for the first time to come to college, and someone who's worked/traveled during a gap year or two. The latter doesn't change as much because living away without supervision isn't as new to them. They're also likely to have more interesting perspectives.
Even then, though, you can't tell if they're people you'll want to keep in contact with right away.

^ Honestly, that's the best advice, just make sure it is legal lol. Just relax, take it easy and be yourself. You'll make friends in due time and as mentioned, people will change so it might be harder to maintain certain friendships as time passes. When you graduate and start working, you'll have plenty of time to make even more friends and at that point, chances are that they will be stable ones as well.

thanks for the advice.
I don't really need help making new friends though. I love strangers
