Friends Are Kinda Friendly :3

So College....hm, how do I describe it? Lonely. I was having alot of fun at the beggining, and  I still have fun now, but my roomate who happens to be my bestie isn't around anymore :( I never see her. She's going to study abroad next year, and living on campus is too expensive, so she's going to be around even less. Two of my good friends are dropping out-one already has and one will at semester. I can't help but feel kind of lost, to be honest :( My other best friend's a senior and will only be around one more semester. I will cry. And my other other best friend lives in apartments close by, so that's good I suppose. 

In College, I've learned that people are unfriendly. They avoid eyecontact. This was nothing like Greenbrier, a population of nearly 3,000 people, most all of them friendly. It's the kind of town that people will wave at you as you drive by, and you know nearly everybody through someone else. At the University of Central Arkansas, there are approximately 13,000 people. It was larger than some cities, and much MUCH larger than little Greenbrier. It sort of brakes my heart when I smile at passerby and get ignored...Much of the time I'm lucky to get a weird look  or a nod. Rarely a smile back. I thought I'd never make friends with any of these people and it made me so sad U.U Then I met Rebecca and Casey in my art class :D

At first, Drawing 1 was a difficult class to take. I'm used to being in an art room where everyone loved eachother and were good friends and  the teacher and I were very very very close. I've wrestled around with Mrs. Foster, my High School art teacher, who would chase me onto tables and try to wrench keep-away items out of my grasp. In this class, nobody knew anyone and it didn't seem like they would care to either. Everyone was odd in their own way. It was alot like a classroom Jhonen Vasquez would draw, like Invader Zim or something where everyone had these weird quirks. I had Peyton in there though, a good lifelong friend so I figured I'd fare alright.

I somehow managed to make two other friends in this art class, and I'm not sure how, exactly. One week Peyton was out and I just asked if I could sit by this girl, Rebecca, and we hit it off like old friends :3 It was lovely, and then I made friends with Casey as well ^-^ We go on adventures all the time, too. They're both rather good artists, and Rebecca's an Art major like me :D It's lots of fun ^-^ The teacher is alot friendlier too, and she always has interesting stories to tell. She's moved more than a dozen times and has literally been everywhere. I like her ^-^ Having friends in a class can really make it more bearable, and I daresay I like my Drawing 1 class now :D
