Hey Mariel, thanks for sharing your college experience; I resonated with pretty much everything you stated. I took the nontraditional route and did my first two years at a community college. When I transferred to my 4yr university, I had a friend group from high school I could hang with but unfortunately, we had a "great falling out" too. Because I was a transfer student I hardly participated in any student activities or events. I do sometimes regret not joining a sorority or club because those are people that could've potentially been life longs friends. But as I've gotten older, I've learned to go with the punches and enjoy my peace.

If you are still looking for friends as you navigate adulting, feel free to message me. I'm always down for new friendships. 💗
