Another big difference about sophomore year in comparison to freshman year is living situations. I tended to make friends with girls in my building and the guys that lived in the buildings that my friends from home lived in. This year, we're all over the place! I can't even tell you where all my friends from last year have moved to this year. The dynamic is so different. For example, last year, all my guy friends lived on one floor and I might go over to see a few of them, but I ended up at least saying hello to them all. This year, those that I was closest to live in a suite and the rest live on one floor in St. Joe's. It's interesting how so far I've mostly made the trip to suites and I see the St. Joe's guys mostly on weekends, or when they visit the suite. Not that I don't love them any less, but it's hard to make so many different trips everywhere. Also last year, my friend Beth and I saw each other every day and we hung out a ton on weekends. She lives in the building next to me in Meagher (pronounced Mar. I know, what?) and I've yet to see her room! And I'm only in Aquinas (A perk to living on first floor = conversations through the windows!). It's unfortunate that I see less of the people I was so close to and so used to seeing last year, but I suppose it just makes room for meeting more people. And the great thing is, I haven't lost their friendships, so on the few occasions I do see them during the week, it's even better!
