I met most of the friends I have now through one person, or through people I met through that person. I met my friend Laura in a self-defense class and she is one of the most awesome people I know! She took me swing dancing and I have met ALOT of people doing that. Seriously, ALL my close friends I have met in college go to swing. It’s really cool though because we all have the same interest. And it’s cool because we all know how to dance awesomely

Seriously the best thing you can do is live on or near campus, even if you live nearby (like in the next town over or something). I live about half an hour away from my college but I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t been able to live in my dorm last year. I know I wouldn’t have been nearly as involved or made as many friends (because I wouldn’t have been able to do as much, like go to swing dancing and such) if I lived at home. My mom’s just like that, she would’ve wanted me home at a certain time. I know this for a fact because I’m commuting this summer and it’s awful. I can’t wait til I move back into my dorm in 3 weeks!
