"  Finding your niche in a group of friends is always challenging at first. Friend groups change almost constantly in high school while in college they seem more concrete. I&amp;#039;ve met several groups of girls who seem to have known each other all their lives and are incredibly close, to find out that they met last week and just clicked! Working your way from a friend group you had in high school is tough. No matter how close you were with those people, they aren&amp;#039;t with you now and no one around you will know who they are. It&amp;#039;s just not the same when your friends don&amp;#039;t live in the same city, and it&amp;#039;s a big transition to find new friends who give you the same support and who know you like the ones you grew up with.  Friendships sort of stumble upon you in college. One day you are sitting with one person you meet in a class at lunch, and the next day you are hanging out with them 24/7. I met my friend Sarah in our freshman seminar class last week, and we started talking about our lives and what not. We made plans to hang out that weekend and suddenly I was meeting all of her friends and they were becoming my friends as well. We hung out on Friday night and had an amazing time; all of the people I met were so cool and nice! Stephanie taught me some wonderful new dance moves, Bianca gave me a great nickname, Pauline made me laugh all night long, and Sarah made me feel very welcome amongst her and her friends.  I&amp;#039;m meeting tons of really awesome people here, I can&amp;#039;t believe that this many people I get along with all live in the same place! In class, walking around campus, hall neighbors, or meeting people out on the weekends are all great ways to find new people who share your interests. Bonding happens quickly but it can last a life time. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
