"But it doesn't really sound the same when nobody is listening."
That's how it kind of is in a new school with new people, new halls and new schedule. it could be uncomfortable, being so new, being lost, looking lost. It's difficult to strike conversations with strangers; you feel like yer obliged to make them laugh. And even if you do make them laugh, you just feel like you gotta give them more -- get them impressed somehow, even if you dont know how much it takes to get them impressed.
But, despite that, its been easier knowing that these people feel exactly the same as you do./
Amongst so much awkwardness comes the best comfort and luxury such a situation could provide.
