Back in high school, I actually met some really great and selfless people and many of them genuinely helped me.

But as soon as I came to college, I met ALL sorts of people and personalities. And I hate to say it, but it seems like nobody here values true friendship. Sure, I have TONS of people that I go out partying with on the weekends but during the weekdays everything that they do makes me think they have their own agenda. Nobody is willing to help anyone. Why is that? Isn't college the time for making real close friendships? Why does nobody care?

One time a friend's friend came over and didn't have a place to sleep. I actually went and pulled out my huge heavy mattress into the living room just so he could have a place to sleep. He looked at me surprised and said "you know, nobody would ever do something like this." And I responded "really? wouldn't all friends do this?" I mean, I can't believe he was surprised at what I did.

Does nobody care about friends anymore?

I actually experienced the opposite. I didn't have anyone in high school but met some pretty nice people in college.

Agreed. College blows.

I had some people who I thought were genuine friends but never really pulled through on important shit.

I've met others who I genuinely care about and know they care about me. They come in all varieties it seems.

because its the small window of opportunity to have fun and go wild and not think about other people, because in a few years they are gonna be with a job and possibly a family and won't get a chance to be irresponsible, so they're doing it now :) xx

Yes, of course. I made awesome AND true friends in college. There's the people I'm friends with on a social basis, we go partying together, etc. But then there's the few special ones, who I consider my real friends.
