Meet Me in Taipei

The older you get, the harder it is to acquire actual friends. Everyone knows this. We talk about how much friendship plays a role in peoples’ lives, and how sometimes, friendship can be tricky.

What did the rest of our college years entail? Tune in for a quick (I guess?) summary of what we decided to involve ourselves with. Sorority chants, the shift of our mentalities, and our encounters with so many different people.

Freshmen year of college got its stigma for a reason: it’s fun, it’s heartbreaking, it’s everything we thought we’d feel. It was very different, and very very mind-boggling.
