So I've started a new chapter in my life recently, by becomming a member of Surrey University which by the way is great. It's because of this new chapter in my life that this thought has popped into my head.
Why do organisations insist on forcing chemistry between people?
It's freshers week we're all new so why is the university expecting us to act like old pals? The whole thing reminds me of those awful workshops your workplace forces you to go to for "health and fucking safety."
Is it too much to ask to be left alone and let me find friends in my own time?
As a house we were asked to attend a gathering to meet our warden, who was a nice guy. He even provided us with drinks. For the first half hour people feebly attempted to exchange small talk. We were huddled in cliquey circles similar to the way penguins huddle for warmth. We grouped just to protect ourselves from the gale force awkward. I looked around at the groups, at the faces of the other students I could see the despair.
Which in a sick way I kind of enjoyed because I suddenly knew that i wasn't the only outsider, infact everyone was an outsider. When we finally escaped the look of reliefe on my fellow peers faces was a sight to be seen. The feeling of freedom was euphoric.
So to conclude dont worry about making friends staight away relationships take time to manifest. Relationships should not be forced.
