Friend or Foe?
Have you ever made a friend that you regret making? When I got to SMU I tried to make as many friends as possible. I met a few good friends at AARO actually. I met a guy who seemed pretty down to earth and very similar to me in a lot of ways. We joked and became friends fast. The only problem was that was at AARO. A short meeting time that really only showed me one side. As the semester started we chilled and went to the frats and stuff. I started to notice he was rather loud and obnoxious. At the frats he'd get belligerently drunk and rather embarrassing. He wasn't independent at all and always hung around me. As I went around to the different frats I seem to have found the one I like the most and I get along with them well. The only thing about that is that If I'm with the annoying guy I really don't want the frat to associate me with him. Is that bad? Its not that I don't want the friendship anymore but he certainly isn't who I thought he was.

I think here lies a huge part of this whole transition into college. There are so many different types of people, and we are all starting fresh, it's difficult at first to really "know" someone. And that inevitably takes time. There are even people right now that a lot of us probably won't stay in close touch with later down the road. I guess that's the beauty of having so many people around as well, if you don't get along with someone, there are still a lot of different types out there.
Remember that this is college and no one is forcing you to hangout with him. People loose friendships all the time for one reason or another. This sounds cold hearted but just get rid of him tell him you don't want to hangout anymore. Sometimes in life your going to have to be stern with people even if that means hurting a few feelings because your sanity could cause more destruction than good with this friendship.
