So all through high school I've had really good friends, but I've never been one of those people who is friends with everyone, and I have to admit, I was always a little jealous. I love my friends, but there are definitely issues connecting with the others. I always felt like we just didn't have anything in common to talk about. They were interested in only frivolous things etc, and I always told myself in college it would be different. And I'm just scared it won't be. I'm good at making small talk, but beyond that? I scared about making real friends, and being separated from my 2 best friends, who I can tell everything to. We're all going to different states, to study different things.
I just hope I haven't built college up to something it can't be, and that I won't be disappointed. I don't want to be disappointed. I want to have a great 4 years and I hope that I won't ruin it for myself by thinking too much like I think I have before.

college will totally be different, if only because i met you on the first day of CPW and it was easier to talk to you than basically anyone i had ever met in high school. ever. if that was just a freak coincidence, the universe is playing a mean, mean trick.
also firefly is the best show ever. now all of my conversations go "what do you want to do?" "idk." "....FIREFLY!!!" i'm glad you've converted :)
Aww, everyone's nervous about starting college. And some have it tougher than others *cough*me*cough* - but I promise you that it is easier to have meaningful conversations with people at MIT. Just get out there (and if you're shy - stop it. Stop it now). Join some clubs you're interested in and socialize. It'll be OK =D.
Look at it logically: You have good friends now, and there's no friggin way that MIT is more frivolous than high school, right? =)
