I think college is the first time friendships are not simply organic. You become BFFs with your next door neighbor who is the same gender and same age as you, at 4 years old. Maybe your universe expands a bit as you proceed through school, but for years, every girl in your circle is invited to every party so it feels like you're in the middle of a tight circle of friends.

Especially if you go away to school, that organic nature of friendship is gone. Zippo. You have to work at EVERY friendship. You might become BFFs with your roommate, but that girl, from a different part of the world might have a different political/religious/social view, so it's not guaranteed you'll love her. So you join a sorority. And what? You have things in common, but what else? Well, that what else is over the next 4 years you develop friendships and bonds that will stay with you the rest of your life. But you'll notice I said 4 years, not 4 days. She's fine. Stay the course. Don't put so much pressure on your friends to be awesome all the time.
