If anything, THEY'RE the fair-weather friends because they don't seem to like you anymore. if you're truly friends with someone, you're not going to change your friendship if they start making better choices.
i just left VCU today (long story - it's on my LJ), but I felt the same way you did. "I feel like a stranger in my own house here on campus." I really did - I only had one really close good friend there - and he's probably going to Shenandoah Conservatory (where I'm transferring) next year. I found out that there are so many people who really just don't care about who you are, just what you can do for them. I didn't hang out with a bunch of the other theatre people, because most of them just went out and got wasted and smashed every other night, which is not something I care to become.
I commend you for "righting your wrongs," so to speak. It makes you a stronger person in my eyes - if anything, they should respect you even more!
I'm glad you do have someone who truly cares about you - really, Paul :-D I only met Jessie once, but she seems like such a great girl and a great friend!
I am sorry it was so bad you had to leave, but maybe it was for the better. Yeah everyone just seems to have nothing in common but wanting to get wasted together and everyone is just performing to impress other people. It gets old. Hopefully you'll be happier there!
