@kaylabayla Since you and your roommate seem to relate well to one another, maybe she can help push you out of your comfort zone. She may not ask you to come along because she thinks you like your space so maybe you can let her know you want to push yourself out of your comfort zone and meet more people and ask if she has any suggestions. She’s known you for a few months now and can probably introduce you to some people with similar interests and may also invite you out with her group of friends sometimes which, even if necessarily your group, is a step in the right direction.
@paveyourpath I think she would help me get out of my shell a bit, but I tend to leave her alone because I worry that I might bother her if I asked for help. College students tend to have a tendency of being independent and standoffish but she is outgoing and likes to party and I am reserved and like privacy. So, I do not know if it would work if I asked for her help. She met some of her friends in class and two of them live in the same dorm as her and me.
@KaylaBayla I love your optimism, and I’ll most definitely apply. If I decide to attend, I would be very excited to meet up.
Best of luck on your NCAT journey 
Try going to the farm you mentioned. Do volunteer work there… go to the gym… Take a day class…Or see a show.
It’s hard. I went through the same thing my first year. Spent a lot of time alone in my room crying. I have an awesome roommate this year though. We are best friends, each of us has a girlfriend and they are best friends. The 4 of us spend a lot of time together. At least as much as we can around school and work. It may just take a little time. Hang in there.
