School is very different from college. Because you guys are all locked in the same building for 7 hours a day and you’re all competing with each other. You don’t have a lot of freedom as a minor even with the ability to drive or other things. Kinda makes sense people would have crushes.
In college everyone’s a homie. With all the freedom you have, you can be friends with anyone and you’re not really competing with each other. You also have a much larger selection of friends from different backgrounds instead of being locked in with the same group of people.
