My first day at College... I've made a mistake. This sentence was going around my head for all of my first week at King Ed's. I've made a mistake. I felt so lonely. Despite being surrounded by over a thousand other students, I felt alone. However, even when I had bad days at college, I found myself looking forward to the next day, determined to prove to myself that it would get better. I was right; each day was better than the last. As I started to make friends, I found myself really beginning to enjoy King Ed's. Even now as the work is piling up, actually, I think I made the right choice. Laura Brown Issue 1 October 2012 contact us at askedit@kedst.ac.uk Page 3 Does growing older create ignorance towards making friends? Joining a new college after being in the same school for 5 years is a frightening thought and whenever we have to face up to this new challenge and experience, the majority of students fret as well as lose sleep over the thought of making new friends. However, we have had a similar experience when moving from primary school to secondary school, so why is this change a more worrisome thought? Through surveying a select number of students in Year 12 at King Edward’s, I have discovered that growing up entails distress towards meeting new people as teenagers are often paranoid and sometimes trivial and select in terms of who they choose to spend their time with. These are only a few of the reasons as to why moving schools is more nail-bitingly stressful than when we were 10 or 11. Olivia Nash
