College freshman, been here for about a month now. I don’t have many friends here, really only my suite-mates, but the strange thing is all of my suite-mates are only friends with each other. 8 of us in total.
I go to a really top art school (literally not bragging at all, it’s relevant). Kids dress super out there and it’s sick. I noticed all kids that dress in a similar style all navigate towards each other and all friends. The goth girls who smoke cigarettes. The skater boys with dyed hair and painted nails. You get the picture. I just dress average. Basic jeans, casual sneakers and plain t-shirts mostly. I don’t really know why I went to an art school; I’m not really talented in the arts, but I’m going for psychology. I was conditioned in a very racist, sexist town and obviously that’s very different here. I went here for the change of that, as I’m bisexual and can be open about it, and I love the environment, I just feel like an outsider. I don’t want to keep this too long. It’s already a month in and all the freshman already have their own cliques, but I don’t really like my suite-mates. They’re nice and all but don’t make me feel too good about myself, they constantly make fun of me for just my laugh or my clothes and other arbitrary things. They’re more just treated me as a lackey. Any ideas on how to make this first year at college better for myself?
