Changes

Coming to college, I've discovered that a few things are a little more difficult than I would have expected. Living with someone, for example, is taking a little more getting used to than I thought. My roommate is really nice, but she is from the Chicago area, so she already had her friends, and it was clear that I would not really fit in. Now, I didn't expect to be best friends forever or anything, and I've made friends of my own now, so it's a little better, but I just wish my roommate and I were a little more comfortable together. Another thing that's been hard to deal with is the distance from "home." It's hard to leave a place where you've spent years finding your comfort zone with your group of friends. I don't regret it all; I love Chicago, and I've met some great people here, but it still sucks because I feel like I deserted my friends and family. But that's enough of talking about my difficulties. I feel silly complaining about being in such a great city!
