You decide to socialize.

You observe the various people, friend groups in your classes as well as in the common areas on campus, seeing where you might best fit in. Would socializing be a waste of time? A distraction? You just needed to graduate to support your family, but why couldn't you enjoy yourself along the way?

• The loud group erupting in laughter
• The quiet group, sitting and eating in close proximity
• The group lounging next to each other, books and flashcards in their hands has they study
