How to Make Friends in College: A Comprehensive Guide

Image
Do you remember the first friend you made? The first person I consciously remember calling my “friend” (and later, “best friend”) was someone I met in preschool. I was probably four years old. We had similar interests, and complementary personalities (he was the big picture idea guy , I was the detail-oriented do-er). As I’ve continued through life, my friendships have shifted . I’ve made new friends along the way, deepened my relationship with existing friend s, and fallen out of touch with others. When you look at it this way, it seems like friendship is something that just “happens. ” You can’t control it, it would seem, and maybe it’s better not to. After all, you can’t force friendship. Yet, what I’ve come to realize in the past couple years is that while you can’t force or manufacture friendship, you can   seek and cultivate it . It isn’t completely out of your control.

Image
Italy is known for some of the best foods in the world. It's home to some of the greatest bread, pasta, gelato, and wine, as we all know, but there are a lot of other delicious dishes that are lesser known, yet equally amazing. This past summer I got the wonderful opportunity to study abroad in Italy, making my way around several parts of the country and trying a ton of amazing foods that honestly, I now wish I would've eaten more of. You simply have  to visit Italy at least once in your life — I insist. I understand that the number of food options can be overwhelming and you might be unsure what to eat in Italy. So, the following is a list that my fellow Spoon members and I have put together for you on 50 of the foods that you absolutely must try there (although, I'd certainly advise you try more if you can). 1. Tomatoes Tomatoes ( pomodori ) are a huge part of Italian food culture , as they're the backbone of the most terrific sauces, soups, salads, and more. The mos...

8 19 Royal Crest Dr Marlborough , MA 01752 (774) 843-5857 Its a beautiful community, closely located to amenities and beautiful landscapes maintained . And also a fitness center which is a big plus for me. Recommended. Good place to live. Well kept grounds. The maintenance guys are exceptional - quick, polite, accommodating. Gym is always clean. Pool is huge. Great location with a lot around it. In general it's a nice place to live, when you actually get the lease signed by Royal Crest(RC). I would put 4-5 starts if not one thing described below. After working with RC Marlboro management we got our first lease. We signed it and asked RC Management to sign - and they didn't do that right away, that's their process. Later we were told by RC Management that they sign the lease any time before the day you actually move in. So, we planned the move, date, arranged movers, etc... Then in a day or two we got a call from RC Marlboro where they said " Current apartment owne...

8 questions to ask someone renting a room in your apartment "); } HBO Moving is so stressful. But you know what else is stressful? Taking over a lease for an apartment and having to fill up the rooms. Aside from making the place look as desirable as possible and trying to not look so upset that your perfect BFF roommate is leaving you to move in with their S.O., you need to make sure you’re going to be able to deal with whichever new person takes their place. While they’re ooh-ing and ah-ing over your open kitchen layout , you’re gonna want to make sure you’re asking the right questions of people renting a room in your apartment. There is!
