college freshmen
so tonight, having ice cream across the street from campus, me and three other girls were talking about how awkward the freshmen are during orientation. they have to force out conversation and make awkward shallow friendships during that time based on the few topics they have in common: where they’re from, what other schools they got into, what classes they’re taking, and where they’re living. they try to act all normal and not show how weird they really are because they’re afraid no one will like them if they’re weird.
so we kept getting stares from the freshies because we were dying laughing quoting Mean Girls and talking about how friendships are completely based on being weird and finding someone else whose weirdness is compatible with your weirdness and having other people accept your weirdness and not think you’re strange. because if you’re not your weird self with your friends, than who can you be yourself with?
