<p>I’m a Wellesley first-year…I love the college but I’m very shy (at least initially), and honestly, I don’t feel like I really fit in here. It seems like the peppy/bubbly/super-duper extroverted girl is the norm here, and if you don’t fit that mold, people automatically write you off as a studious, type-A, personality-deficient, goody-two-shoes drone. Maybe to some extent that’s true everywhere, but students I’ve met from other colleges in the area are usually more accepting. That said, I’ve made some good friends…usually with people who, for circumstantial reasons (e.g. roommate), got to know me instead of just passing automatic judgment. I also like the academics/other aspects of Wellesley, so I don’t regret coming here. At least, not much.</p>
