Ask The Villanovan

All of my friends are in the same sorority except for me, but I accepted a bid from a diff erent one. Everything was great fi rst semester, but I can already feel us growing apart. What do I do?

While this might feel upsetting right now, it presents a great opportunity for you to make new friends. Given that you’re an underclassman you still have most of your college career on the horizon!

When you’re with your new sorority sisters, don’t think about what you’re missing and what you’re other friends are up to, rather embrace who you’re with. It can be hard to make new friends the deeper you get into your college career, so make the most of this new adventure.

All my friends are abroad... what do I do?

While this is not ideal, again, it presents a nice opportunity. Try to do some things you wouldn’t have done last semester: join a new club, reach out to an old classmate, or even go out of your way to meet new people.

Also, this is a great time to zone in on your school work and make sure you’re on your A-game.

I just found you my best friend has feelings for me, and I don’t know how I feel. What do I do?

This is a slippery slop. If they are down in the dumps in love with you and your feelings are up in the air, it might be best to not do anything until you know for sure. However, if your best friend just wants to see where things go, it’s worth thinking about.

Regardless, when going going through this, it’s best to communicate. If you don’t, it could ruin your entire friendship.
