Maybe that's why I don't get along with a particular group. I have friends in my major, no doubt, but you wouldn't see me in any Facebook Albums with 'em. I'm never at their outings, not really willing to date anyone in my immediate group of friends or really anything clique-y like that. Do they invite me to? I'm pretty sure they don't. I'd like to think it's because I'm too busy, but they would at least ask, right? Either way, I don't think similar fields of academic studies are grounds for a good relationship anyway. I mean, I get all the "English Major Jokes," but damn I'm not gonna go nuts with them in public around other people; I'd look like a nerd! There's nothing wrong with being a nerd, but don't go out of your way to be one, then you're just a hipster!
I could talk myself in circles here, but my point is that I don't think college is a terribly great place to make relationships that last. It's so distinct from high school, in which you are bound by law to attend every day, and that sort of shared oppression makes some of the people you are stuck with help to shoulder your burden rather than just make it worse (both kinds are in high school, of course). I know I shouldn't be calling my education a burden; I like school-really I do. In college, it's like, you just feel so optional to everyone. That's not to say I don't have some good friends here, but most of the people here seem so much more self absorbed (myself included.I have too much to do for myself to care about others.) C'est la Vie.
