<p>I have been at school for about 2 months now and I have made a group of friends I like to hang out with. They are all really nice, sweet girls and I like them a lot, but we don't have as much fun as I used to have with my friends in high school. When we hang out, it doesn't become the all out laugh fest that I always had when I hung out with my high school friends, even the ones I wasn't particularly close too.</p>
<p>I know I should be grateful that I made friends at all, and believe me I am, but is it ever going to be as fun as it was at home?</p>
<p>Maybe things will be better after the first semester is over? Please,I need all the advice I can get.</p>
<p>Well you have known these people for 2 months. The kids I knew from home I knew at the very least 4 years, but most of my friends I knew for 13-14 years. It will get better, (I hope at least b/c im in the same position as you :) )</p>
<p>hahah its so true. im still friends with the kids i've known since 3rd grade. i hope its gonna get better for us, but it makes me feel better that someone else is in the same boat!</p>
<p>Of course, it won't be EXACTLY the same. High school is a really special period.</p>
<p>Maybe it's not a "laugh fest" because of what you are doing, not the people you are around. Most people are capable of having that kind of fun. Last night both my roommates, a floormate, and I played a game of pictionary at like midnight and it was hilarious and so much fun. And these are people I've known for two weeks. </p>
<p>Just try and relax and think of what made high school so fun. It could be you have outgrown some of those things, or maybe you think HS friends were better because you are homesick, not because they were really that much better.</p>
<p>HS was nothing compared to college...</p>
<p>Basically everyone is right about the time it takes to develop that rapport (sp?) with people. It'll happen. Shared experiences are what makes friendships rich so just keep hanging out with these people and it'll happen.</p>
<p>This is weird, because I've noticed the exact opposite. I was only really good friends with a few people in high school, at least those that were in my year. But even though I've only been here a month and a hlaf I've made tons amazing friends that I love to be with. I feel so much closer to them and it's actually kind of akward to go see my high school friends (well, maybe because they're all still in highschool. i skipped a year). You'll see. You most likely will like them better because of the experiences y'all are going through ad the fact that you live, eat, study, do everything in the same area. It really brings people together.</p>
