<p>I'm not a college student yet but I know what you're talking about.</p>
<p>In middle school, I was friends with people from all kinds of groups. Yes, it was stressful to organize stuff and I sometimes felt like I wasn't as close to my friends as people who belonged to an established group were. I guess all of that got to me, and in high school I decided to give up the social juggling and just fall into the nerd crowd. Believe me, it was the biggest mistake I EVER made. I felt so much better about myself and had so much more fun when my "social palette" was diverse. It is hard but life is hard, and it was - for me - by far the better of the two options. Be yourself and be friends with who you want to. You'll feel better for it.</p>
