<p>But why? It is critical to know how to communicate with others for jobs in the future and speak articulately during your college interviews. Learning to communicate can actually expand your chance to get into a good college. You acquire more leadership skills that can help you advance beyond your peer. This society is not built in such a way that people isolate eachother.</p>
<p>Honestly, no. There are people I hang around with at school that I’ve been friends with since middle school, but over time our interests have changed and we don’t have anything in common anymore. Though I find I enjoy being alone, but I also realize that I need to improve my social skills to thrive in the real world in the future. BUT I’LL DO THAT IN COLLEGE xD</p>
<p>I think it’s less about “partying” all the time, and more about finding people you find interesting who think of you the same that you enjoy being around.</p>
<p>I’d agree with Kimberlyy, because it really is very important to find true friends that you enjoy being around.</p>
<p>For me personally, I think high school has been wonderful so far (I’m still a junior, rising senior), but I also haven’t really done much in the way of socializing. I’ve never had a boyfriend, and I don’t think anyone has been interested in me like that, but I don’t care because I don’t want one. I never bothered going to our semi, or to prom. However, I do have wonderful friends who I’ve known for years and pretty much all we do is knit, bake, have tea parties, and go on picnics. I know a lot of people may count this as not having a life, but I’m happy with it, because it’s just how I like it. No drama, no worries, no pressure to do anything you don’t want to do.</p>
<p>From what i’ve seen so far, most people on this site dont have a life. Just sayin…</p>
<p>I had a life in 8th and 9th grade, went essentially insane the summer following, and didn’t have much of a life to speak of after that, on account of lack of interest. I was still obliged to go to the parties of my few friends, and had a truly good time at ski club in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. But y’know, in 8th & 9th grade, I went out nearly every weekend, at minimum 3 times a month, whereas afterwards I went out, like, once every 3 months, less if I could avoid it.</p>
<p>College is all socialization. Constant.</p>
