Anyone interested in being friends?
I'm new to this app, but so far most people seem to be very supportive. Loneliness is a big reason why I'm checking this out. I'd really love to develop some meaningful friendships in my life, so I'm posting this in the hope that others feel the same way! I crave that connection, but I find most people to be shallow. I want to be able to talk about real life and real issues without judgement, just supportive conversation. So, if this sounds like something that interests you, let me know! Friendships can develop between people of all ages and walks in life, but having some common ground can help, so here are a few things about me. I'm 37, a single mom of two teenage girls, part time student, and I struggle to overcome an ultra conservative upbringing (think more cult-like) and an emotionally abusive marriage that thank goodness, I'm no longer in!

Hey! :) I am 21 and I am a full time college student. I have no kids myself and have never been married. I would love to be your friend. You can call me Halli. It's not my real name but I feel on the internet, it's best to choose a name for yourself :D At least thats how i feel :)
@HalliwellSister
Hi Halli! Nice to meet you :) What are you studying and how long do you have to go?
@pinkMelon656
I am studying Criminal Justice, psychology, and Creative writing. I am supposed to graduate in 2018!
@HalliwellSister
You're ahead of me :) I will probably still be plugging away when my kids are in college! What made you decide to go into criminal justice? Also, what kind of job are you hoping to get when you're done?
@pinkMelon656
How much more do you got until you're done? Forgive me if stated, but what are you studying?
haha I dont know, I just find the subject matter interesting and I like the idea of doing good. :) I am thinking lawyer or a counselor for families of murder victims
@HalliwellSister
I'm studying marketing, which is th field I work in now. I haven't calculated it all out because it just seems so far away because I'm only taking 2 classes (usually for a total of 6 credits) per semester. At the rate I'm going, maybe 4 or 5 more years! 😁
Sounds like either path you choose will be difficult. Hopefully rewarding, but tough! Good for you though!
So aside from school, what else can you tell me about yourself?
@pinkMelon656
marketing sounds good!👌🏼 :)
Aside from schooling, I like to read books :D and watch Netflix and stuff. Haha. And I'm bad at talking about myself
@HalliwellSister
Eh it can be awkward to talk about yourself. Think if it as practice for talking to juries! 😄
Its annoying that I can't see what you said earlier as I type this. It requires me to rely on my aging memory! 😁
You mentioned books and Netflix. What kinds of books? Shows?
@pinkMelon656
yeah haha our memories arent the best as we age aye! lol. sometimes i copy and paste what I am going to send and cancel and reread a message.
I like to read fiction books. hmm anything that I can feel a connection to characters. For shows, I really like super hero shows and I'll give any medical show a try!
@HalliwellSister
So are you Team Stark or Team Rogers? That caused some debate at my house!!! :) As does the question of gryffindor, hufflepuff, or slytherin.
@pinkMelon656
Yeah that question does tend to create a riot! lol. I am Team Stark! Always have and always will be, and yourself?
And I am proud to be a pureblood Ravenclaw.
@HalliwellSister
I was always Team Stark until Civil War, then I had to side with Captain. I'm probably halfway between Slytherin and Gryffindor. My older daughter is Team Rogers FOREVER and a proud Hufflepuff. My younger daughter is Team Stark and undecided as to her Hogwarts house. We have many lively debates at my house!!! 😄
@pinkMelon656
I have yet to see Civil War. I dare wonder what happened for you to betray Stark!
And theres one way to decide her house since she can't choose! :O Pottermore
@HalliwellSister
Oh dear, you're going to have to see Civil War!!! It was intense. We've all done the Pottermore quiz, but she always gets different results.
Have you taken the Patronus quiz? I forget what mine said...a breed of dog, but I forget what kind. I'm a big HP nerd lol. We have Harry Potter marathons during the holidays. Not every year, but most years :)
@pinkMelon656
I have yet to take the patranous quiz ! :)
And I must see the movie indeed. Do you think it is on the internet? :)
Ohh diferent results all the time! dang
@HalliwellSister
If it isn't on the Internet, it's on Redbox! Man, I love Redbox :) As long as I remember to turn them in the next day! 😁
Took my microeconomics midterm today. I think I'll be lucky if I don't fail it. 😒 I'm not loving this class AT ALL! I think statistics was even better than this. But, at least that test is over. On to the next one! 😄 How's school going in general for you?
@pinkMelon656
haha redbox. I do netflix :O
And i am sure you did fine. in general school is okay for me i think. i have a midterm on thursday! Juvenile justice system
@pinkMelon656 ..... @kindDay4067 Are you studying marketing too? Sorry, Kind, I most always forget what it is you're really studying :( sorry. I thought you might like to "meet" .... Melon meet Kind, Kind meet Melon.

@cyanPlatypus6370

Im studying Finances and its overwhelming for now, i hope it gets better :)
Nice to meet you Melon!!
@kindDay4067
Hi Kind, hi Platy! :) Nice to meet you both!
Kind-I just finished a little rant about my Econ class. I don't think I could study finances 😁 I might rather step on Legos every day!
Hope you both are having a good week so far! 😀
@pinkMelon656

I hope you had a nice day :) Its late where I live :P
Hugs, Day
