second week of college and feeling incredibly lonely and sad. anyone feel the same? i'm bummed, i was really social in high school, had lots of friends and now...i dont know, its weird.

any advice? i live off-campus, but live close to my college. im ready to give up

:(
 
umm no lol

see if ya can get into some organizations of similar intrest or like a sports team or maybe just participate in dorm activities, itll get better cuz i was wicked quiet my first year and now i have the most amazing friends ever!
 
well fine heres what you do. walk around the dorms if or when you can and go into all the rooms with open doors. talk for a bit lie and say youre looking for something. start talking and blam you og t a friend. start talking to people in class. its not that hard
 
i take it your a freshmen, where do you go to school, maybe you can find some newschoolers that go there.

and always meet the people in your classes, they always lead to more and more friends
 
Wow.. you really should have no trouble if you go there, my friend. Its been two weeks. What did you expect? to find 100 freinds the first day?

just start meeting people in class, in your dorm halls.. etc. Join the ski club. I KNOW they have one there. look around ns for people that ski in washington... whether or not they go to Udub.

Seattle is a big down. You'll meet folks in notime.
 
and why are you living off campus your first year? i think every freshmen should live in dorms that way you are around a lot of people in one building...

then the 2nd year i lived off campus and it was great casue my dorm building was a shithole...
 
...dude thats crazy my brother went there you should have no probs finding friends at all in that city
 
Oh shit shes living off campus?

Sorry. not really a smart move... dorms are legit the first year.

although, living off campus your grades might be better that way haha.
 
i know what you mean, i've had lots of homesickness, but just get involved, join some clubs, exercise and stuff, keep your mind off it
 
i know the feeling.just stick it out it'll get better just throw yourself into everything. i know everyone says that but do it. i get lonely alot it sucks but it gets better just meet people
 
it will get better just give it time, worst case you can sit around and talk to cool people on the internet... like us
 
hit the nail right on the head. all my good friends I met at school were through smoking. but yeah you arent weird or anything I'm a social dude but the first month of college was sooo shitty, just consists of everyone trying to impress other people with how cool they are. people tell the fakest stories and brag about high school or all the partying they have done so far in college non stop.

i met this kid who was a friend of a friend and i said to him 'yeah dude I am so sick of hearing about 'sweet parties and getting all these phone numbers and getting wasted' and the guy then proceeds to tell me about getting really wasted and such. never talked to him again.
 
i go to cal (btw we kick husky ass in football) and i actually hate this school to tell you the truth i think about transferring all the time but im not gonna do it- i need the degree. join some clubs. go to the ski club meetings the college ski clubs always are some of the biggest partiers on campus and always have a few houses to party at. stick with it uw is fun
 
bad choice #2: spending all your time in your room on NS asking internet people how to make friends...

seriously though, yeah, join the ski club...you'll meet tons of people you have a ton in common with
 
same with me. i have some kids i hang out with but not many, and i don't have much of a connection with them other than they live a few doors down from me. i don't really like my school either, i might transfer out.
 
haha this guys knows whats up. you'd be suprised as to how many men will approach you. i know i would.

but seriously, are you living in an apt or house or something? definitly go meet your neighbors, they could turn out to be cool and maybe theyll invite you to parties theyre having. i would assume you have roommates, are they cool at all? i just transferred to a new college and ive met a lot of cool people through my roommates. classes are great for meeting people too, just strike up conversations about whatever. im sure guys will be stoked your talking to them and girls are probably looking to meet new friends as well. its still very early in the semester so just keep plugging through and it should get better. ski club is a definite must
 
Living on campus would have been a better choice. It may be expensive, but it helps not to have to drive all the time and its about the experience. do intramurals or look at joining a sorority.
 
join a club that does something you like, then you will meet lots of people who all do the same thing you like.
 
oh god kate...you came to NS for help? i dunno if that was the greatest idea, haha. but seriously, you have to be super outgoing and just talk to everyone. its way different than shorewood where you knew everyone. you're prolly not gonna meet new best friends right off, but cool people who wanna hang out and also meet new people. trust me, its what ive had to do at CU
 
Cal isnt THAT bad.. shit, i'd go there if I had the grades.

Still... I'd rather go to something closer to the snow. Whatever though, its still within daytrip range.

and yea.. Cal owns Udub.
 
wow i was just about to right the exact fucking exact same thing as i scrolled down to find the reply button boom u already said that shit. my gf just joined one and made like an instant 30 facebook friends!!!!!!!!! hahaha
 
As a freshmen living off campus its going to be tough to meet people no matter what. I have a few friends that lived off campus their freshmen year and all of them said they really had a tough time meeting people. Most of them I had met outside of school, either at a concert or a party or something. I met so many of the kids I know in college just from having lived with them in the dorms. Just try and be super outgoing. Don't join a sorority, unless thats what your really into, (meh).
