*I’m also female by the way
I didn’t make any friends in my dorm freshman year. I think this is because most of these women were dumb, party-animal, airhead types. We were nice to each other and all, but I really don’t think anyone could have forced us to be friends. Now, this doesn’t mean I don’t ever party, but I’m by no means the stereotype of a female college student.
I’m a junior next fall, and I have made some friends, including two close friends, but I really don’t feel any stability with my social life. In other words, I don’t feel like I have a “core” or “base” that keeps me feeling socially secure. I truly feel like I’m on my own and have to fend for myself. In some ways this is great because I’m an introvert and so I can have my “space”. Yet, when I want that social closeness (either from a friendship or relationship) I don’t have it… What I really want and feel I’m missing in my life is a sense of social stability/security… I haven’t found a social niche, really. There is one group I’m friends with (and can say I’m part of for the most part), but it still isn’t providing that security in terms of my social life.
I guess I just don’t like that I have all these connections, but little solid or reliable social support and security. How do I change this? Meeting people at this school is a ridiculous challenge. With 55,000 undergrads, even people who have joined smaller clubs are fairly distant. The atmosphere around here makes it challenging to make close friends unless you were already from the area

I normally don’t like floral prints, but I think these shoes are the cutest! Problem is, I don’t know what to match them with. Please help? Forever21 is my favorite store so if you could include things from there, it would be much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time.

I have to write a handout for English class ( I’m from Austria, bdw) and the teacher has no time to correct it in advance. I don’t want to give a handout full of mistakes to my class mates, so could you please tell me the mistakes in the four texts below? thanks a lot!
Chips with Everything
Chips, crisps, potato watches – they are almost everywhere, eaten with almost every meal: potatoes. But have you ever asked where they came from? It all started in Peru, where they grew potatoes over 2,000 years ago, but they were smaller than today and tasted bitter. Spanish explorers discovered them in the 1550s and brought them to Spain. However, people did not really like them and they were mainly given to slaves and prisoners as they were quite cheap. They slowly made their way through Europe, but people kept thinking they were poisonous. But then supposedly King Louis of France, who loved potatoes, planted them in the royal gardens to make them seem valuable. His plan worked: the plants were stolen and became a popular part of French diet.
The chips were probably invented by the Belgians. In England they were first mentioned by the famous author Charles Dickens. In America they are called French fries because American soldiers tasted them first in France during World War I – nowadays the Americans eat over 20 million tonnes of chips a year.
The crisps were invented by a Native-American chef, whose customer kept demanding his fried potatoes sliced more and more thinly. The dish was an immediate success.
The Fortune Cookie
Fortune cookies are small sweet biscuits that are served at the end of a meal in a Chinese restaurant. Written on a piece of paper inside them is your fortune, for instance ‘You will write a book one day’. The Chinese people have always given each other sweet Moon Cakes on special occasions. When the Mongols occupied China, the Chinese used them as a way to send secret messages to each other. When many Chinese people went to America during the gold rush they kept putting messages of hope inside biscuits on celebrations. And as they settled in California and opened restaurants, they continued this tradition.
A Short History of the Pizza
The very origin of today’s pizza is in Greece where people first put various ingredients onto a flat round dough –cake and baked it over an open fire. This dish was called ‘pita’ which is also where the name ‘pizza’ comes from. The Etruscans brought it to Italy. It spread in Europe, but it was still a dish for poor people. When the tomatoes came to Europe people started putting them onto their pitas. Slowly the newly born pizza became a local specialty in Neapel. But then King Umberto and his wife Queen Margherita visited Neapel and wanted to try the new dish although it still stuck with the reputation of being a poor people’s meal. A chef put tomatoes, mozzarella and basil onto it – in order to reassemble the Italian flag – and named his creation ‘Margherita’. Apparently the queen was so enthusiastic about the result the pizza became acceptable for the nobility as well.
Coca Cola
Coca Cola was invented by an American pharmacist in order to cure diseases like impotence, headache and morphine addiction. He sold it to the business-man Candler who founded the Coca Cola Company and started an aggressive marketing plan making it one of the most popular drinks of America. Today, more than 1 billion drinks of Coca Cola are consumed per day.
Thanks! you’re great!:)
