Just like in high school you have a number of 'clicks', or "Gangs," Here you have groups of people that categorize themselves by sport and major. The basket ball payers eat together, the softball players study together, and the dancers get ready together every morning. Honestly, people have not changed much at all. Everyone wants to have their on place, hence a since of belonging. This relates to the curricular activities that people are involved in as well as the things they do in their spare time. I myself, always saw that |(although I was out going) I had a since of displacement, a feeling that I did not belong, or no matter who I was I wasn't good enough. Now that I have entered college I still feel this way but the difference is that people now want to except me for who I am and admire that I am just an individual, who is smart, loving and caring. I try to thing of myself as a lady who has a few corks and that is plan and weird and comfortable.
I know in high-school and in middle school many may be the outsiders and the people no one likes but maintaining who you are and adapting only when you need to is an essential part of who you are and what you could become. Many people will tell you that you are "ugly, fat, stupid, weird and even never going to amount to anything," but with belief that you are more than the words people label you with you can over come anything. Everyone wants a place to be long, but just make sure that is were you want to be. Don't be in the in crowd just to say that your in because the moment your in that's the moment your out of touch with yourself or the moment that there into you.
Love you and except yourself and you will never have a need to fit in with others who are nothing like you.
I'll be back to tell you more about college ,this is just a pitch or pepper there is still lots more to go around. -Harlab12
