People

Unless you basically live your whole life inside your room and in front of your computer—or you live in a secluded mountain far, far away with only you living on it—you will meet new people, almost everywhere, actually. Now, I'm not going to start off this blog post making a vague statement about something (*cough* unlike my other blog posts *cough*), no.

As (most of you) all know, I am a student, I am still a student, and I am going to continue being a student until I finish college (unless, of course, I drop out because I got a job that pays much). It's sort of rare for me to meet new people, honestly. I am pretty sure that most of you can relate to those moments in school where a new student comes along in your school and suddenly they are the "talk of the town." We have that same effect towards new students, although there are not as many new students suddenly joining the school in the middle of the school year.

If you see that new student, and if that new student is in the same class as you, you will probably wonder on what to do with the new student. Of course, many people will judge the new student based on his/her looks (come on, we all know that most of us judge people through looks, it is an innate nature). Say, for example, you (the reader) are a girl and this new student comes in and that new student is also a girl. You look at her dress, how she acts, how she socializes with others, if she is smart, if she will be a valuable new member to your group (assuming that you have one), and etc. Basically, what I am trying to say is that everyone judges people and decides what to do with the people around them.

I have a classmate, who is very noisy and likes to talk to me during class hours, and tells jokes to me, and all that stuff. However, that classmate of mine makes fun of me, tells jokes about me, and laughs at how I walk/speak/whatever. So my attitude towards that person is mixed. But all in all, if I get along well with that person, then I guess everything is fine with me.

I'll give you another example: my friend Bernadette.

Bernadette has been a great friend towards me so far. She is the type of girl that I can tell my secrets to, without the worry of someone knowing them, and she is also a great listener. I can trust her and I value the friendship we have. The letter she gave to me during the retreat was amazing and I still have it, and the envelope as well. Bernadette is the type of friend who will miss you when you leave for college, and one that you can share your stories with. People like Bernadette are rare to find (in my opinion) in today's society. It is very hard to find a person like her—someone you can tell your secrets to and promise to keep them secrets.

I am very happy to be friends with someone like her. Hopefully I will find people like her once I get to college. If not, then I guess she'll be one of the few people I can trust.

So, yeah, that's all for now, I guess.
