Relationships

I have formed a bunch of new relationships here at USC. Coming from Charlotte, you would think that I would know a ton of people but really I only knew one guy from my high school and then one guy from a neighboring school who happened to be my best friend’s boyfriend. So coming here, I knew I would have to make a lot of friends and I feel like I’ve succeeded. Having all of them there makes me feel more adjusted to college life. I really love my floor; we’re all pretty close. It’s fun just to hang out with them if I don’t have anything to do. Also, three of the guys from my floor are in my chemistry class, so I always have someone to sit with during chemistry and if I ever needed help, I know that they would be there to help me, no questions asked. Also, two of the girls on my floor, Bryn and my good friend Melissa, are marine science majors also and we’re all in the same marine science class. Melissa’s also in my lab and we’re in the same lab group. I always ask them questions when I need help. I love the group of friends I’ve become a part of. They’re really fun and they can always cheer me up if I’ve had a rough couple of class days or if I’ve been super stressed. I also know I can tell my roommate about any of my problems because she’s always there to listen. I met my boyfriend and started dating him here too. I am probably the closest to him and he’s really great. He always tells me that everything’s going to be alright and I’ll get through this semester just fine. This morning he really helped me out because I was absolutely exhausted from getting up at five am for my marine science field trip yesterday and I wanted to just skip Latin and history. He made me get up and go though because he knew I needed to attend them and stay on top of my work. Everyone here just keeps me really grounded and I’m really thankful for all of the people I’ve met so far.
