The best laid plans…
I feel like I have to try so much harder now to make any friends since the rooming situation ended up less than ideal. Upon arrival at check-in this morning, we were informed that everyone checking-in would be moving into Patterson Court. I figured this would be fine, even though it was my last choice out of 3 different places but i figured i could make it work. so then all my hopes went into having plenty of roommates (you can have 7 in a 4-bedroom or 5 in a 3-bedroom) because then I’d have a better chance of finding someone to go through all this with (in my last-resort apartment complex). no. Patterson is only 1 or 2 bedroom units so I went for the 2 bedroom which means I have 3 roommates. So now I’m thinking, “Ok, well you can’t be 0 for 3 so you have to end up with a great roommate?” no. My roommate is a bit of a know-it-all with an answer to everything that is better than yours so it’s a little rough. The other 2 girls in the apartment are great, they’re really friendly and nice but they came here together from puerto rico so they’re already really close and I just feel like a bit of an outsider. Needing something new to be positive about I figured “Well atleast I’m bound to meet some people I can hang out with at the housing meeting.” Wrong again. Instead the only person who was even friendly to me was Trey, an RA I know from living in Baker last year. I was truly shocked at how quickly people had already formed into their little groups. I tried talking to 3 different girls before the meeting and every one of them was pretty cold to me. I just don’t know how I’m suppossed to be making friends if people won’t open up to me even a little bit. It’s just really frustrating. I know it’ll get better but it’s making tonight awfully rough. I wish it was a better situation automatically without me having to be the annoying girl who keeps trying to talk to people. Tomorrow will be better.
