Things to Remember Before Entering College

Seventh

Here's my sentiment on the subject of friendship:
Genuine friendship knows no gender.

Typically, friends are formed in groups based on similar interests and hobbies, or whether they go along well, or go on an organization together. However, stereotypes suggest that males should only build friendships with the same sex and same thing goes for females.

Even if I struggled a lot in establishing and maintaining friendships, I would still go against the said typicality of building camaraderie in the same shade.

I have solid male friends, and they're really great. Amidst the gender difference, understanding is still met through meeting halfway. Even though there would be things which friends of the same sex could only share, but I'm still glad of how things turned out well.

Although, there are some points in my life that I wish weren't really that hard. For example, establishing myself and maintaining friendship to girls. It may sound like a drama, but I really see myself failing to keep bonds to the same sex. It may be considered as a two-way conflict, but this so called 'dilemma' caused me to learn how to see in a different perspective.

And at certain points, I really hate seeing friendships shatter, especially those with weak foundations. Like, they blabber about being solid and stuff but unfortunately come into a crash. Sadly, I see them live new lives with their new pals. But on the contrary, I feel glad for myself. (Wow just wow, author!)

Why do I feel glad though? Maybe it's because I've done my best in avoiding such quarrels and petty breakups, and it turned out successfully. Since I've clinged myself to people who oversees such dramas, I've learned to lessen mine - at last!

I know, this won't really sound the same to all, and this may cause comments to what I'm sharing - yeah sorry for that. Whatever your friendships' rituals may be, whether it may be playing games, having sleepovers, conducting study sessions, or even just keeping it chill, I know it should be done for the group's betterment.

And to you, who may prefer boys as squadmates, or girls as comrades, mixed variations, or maybe pick a few pals rather than a lot, or the other way around... As long as you feel warm, welcome and loved, you do you.

Because in the end, man or a woman, they'll love you for you, I promise. ❤️
