![Wayland Historical Society Executive Director Scarlett Hoey explains the history of the Cochituate Gatehouse.
"The exterior is still a nice monument to remember buildings [involved in] water history," Hoey said. "We all drink lots of water, and it's such an important resource that we kind of take for granted nowadays."](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_2024-1200x800.jpg)
Dear WSPN, I don’t have anything to do on Friday nights. And Saturday nights. And in the afternoon. The reason is that I don’t have any friends. How can I make more friends?
If you want to make friends, you can’t just sit on the couch and play video games during all of your free time. You have to get out there and meet people. When you meet people you make acquaintances, and as time passes, those acquaintances can become friends. To meet people, you have to start getting involved in clubs, sports or plays that focus on something you like to do. It is likely that everyone else in that group likes to do the same thing, so you would already have something in common. Chances are that you’ll find more things in common than just that. So start doing your favorite activities with others, and before long, you will have plenty of friends.
