    Well, school's starting back up soon and hopefully I can make a friend or two. Everyone at my school comes to me for help but doesn't even take the time to know me and ironically I'm afraid I may have been doing the same here. Appologies to anypony I may have burdened or bothered or worried. So to the point, school is coming up and boy I am SO unprepared to see everyone again if anyone feels happy, sad, angry, annoyed, or just plain queezy, go ahead and post your replies.

    I'm in the same boat as you. A majority of my friends have already moved so I won't have any buddies

    School begins again in September for me. And to be honest, I don't really care about friends there (technically, nobody is my friend, simply good-mannered acquaintances), as long as I gain a good education.

    And my mortal nemeses do not gain the aforementioned education and/or qualifications.

    Yea, school starts for me in August. I'm going to a different college than my other friends, so hopefully I'll be a ble to make new friends. It's hard for me though, since I'm so shy.

    Well, I can't wait to get back to school! I have all these classes I'm going to love and--

    Oh yeah, I'm supposed to talk about friends...right...

    Well, I have a few good friends...most of them will have left, having graduated last year...that leaves me with.........

    Maybe three good friends that I'm reasonably close to.

    But, I never REALLY get close to somepony. I don't know why, it just doesn't seem important. It's not that I avoid people or anything, I just don't seek them out.

    Honestly though, I really don't mind. In fact sometimes the few buddies I do have annoy me (unintentionally) by always calling and wanting to hang out, and I'm thinking, I really don't hate you, but I really have better things to do!

    Of course, being a little bit Fluttershy-ish, I'm just like, "Um...okay...I'll see you soon..."

    Anyways, that's all on that for now...

    I haven't even had a summer vacation been going to summer classes at my college not to mention I work on campus at my college as well. I think I only have either a week or just another three day weekend between the end of Summer Session II and Fall semester so yeah kind of sucks :/

    Friend wise I have some friends that will be coming on campus this fall. One of the bronies out of the brony group down here is also trying to get a job where I work on campus and several others from the group may be attending the college as well.

    That's pretty much it for me.

    My friends at uni suck (I've had them as friends for around 8 years), but they're the only ones I have, and I'm way to shy to make new friends, unless they come to me, but even then.... I fail...

    And no uniform, so brony shirts all round!

    I'm going to the Sixth Form i my school next year, so much of the ol' outcast group'll still be there. Some will be leaving though... :'(
    When/If I got to university, I've gotta admit, I'm a bit nervous about the whole meeting new people thing. I'm terrible at making new friends.

    I think that I'll enjoy sixth form when it starts in September. I'm only doing subjects I'm interested in and all my friends will be there (well, all but two). Also, the teachers are much more "cooler" with sixth formers than they are with regular students.

    In fact, I wouldn't mind starting sixth form right now. I just prefer holidays a lot more.

    School starts on August 15th for me. Well, technically, that's just when I move in to my dorm room, and school starts a few days afterward, but it all feels the same right now.

    I don't really know what I'm going to do about making friends. My family and other friends tell me I'm really personable, but I have a lot of anxiety about going somewhere I've never been and not knowing anyone. I think I'll try to join a club or two and get to know some people. All my really good friends who I love to death are moving away to different parts of the country, so it's going to be a hard transition for me.

    I'm not a fan of high school. I'm very much an introvert, so I only have a couple friends and have trouble meeting new people. But college is uber fun, simply because I like to learn. I am an egghead. ;-;

    Enjoy it while it lasts. In school you have a whole bunch of different and unique people from all over who are all shoved into the same situation and the same place. It basically creates a productive social situation. You have an excuse to talk to these people. You all go to the same school. You are involved in the same classes/clubs. You have an almost unlimited number of potential friends.

    When you are out of school, finding the same kind of social atmosphere is next to impossible. You don't meet new people every semester. You actually have to FIND an excuse to talk to new people and WORK to gain new friends. I only have 2 good friends. I only have about a handful of friends in general, the same ones I was friends with in high school. I typically only meet 2-3 new people in a YEAR and of those, exactly none have became friends.

    Anyway what I'm getting at is this. The work is cut out for you, and numbers are on your side. All you need do is say hello. And it doesn't matter how many friends you have or don't have, it's how many GOOD/BEST friends you have. Those are the only ones that really count in the end.




    Sorry if that was in any way depressing, but it is what it is. Anyway, enjoy your new school year.

    Can't wait till September I now get to do my own choice of what I want to learn plus the core subjects like pe, maths, science etc. Now instead of drama and music I'm doing business, media studies, history and german. Oh and the friends side being as most of my friends were in a different set to me I didn't really get to talk to them much apart from form, break and lunch hopefully this time it's changed and I'm not with my mortal enemy JAKE KWASNEY.
