Ever since I became a college freshman, I have been asked the same questions multiple times by almost everyone I have come into contact with. One of the questions I get asked the most is “Have you made any (new) friends?”. The short answer is no—and yes, I receive very odd and confused and sometimes even pitying looks when I say that. I really shouldn't feel the need to have to explain myself, but this post will act as the long answer, doing just that.
