<p>I am a transfer student from a 2 year community collge, I finished my first year and was unhappy with the social aspect. It was a difficult school to make friends at and by the end of my first year I had grown up fast because I spent a lot of time on my own. I transferred to a four year institution and started my sophomore year this september. The college is huge with so many students. I was a late applicant and so I was put in a freshman building with another late transfer applicant. So far I am very happy here but my issue is I am comfortable with my routine and I don't know if that's a good thing. I have become comfortable with spending time by myself and doing my own thing. I am very social and exercise daily but I am comfortable with waking up, exercising, going to class, coming home, eating dinner and showering by myself. My roomate is a small, nice and quiet boy so I do feel a bit short handed socially because a lot of the new relationships that have been made are with room mates. Don't misunderstand me, I do have friends but unlike most of the kids I see, I don't spend a lot of time with them. I feel like a 27 year old trapped in a 19 year olds body to put things in perspective. I was always more mature for my age, I always had my eyes set on building a house, working hard at my job and loving my wife. This is a serious concern of mine but like I said don't mistake me for a dark, unsocial young man, I feel I'm more of an "old soul", so please answer honestly, is feeling this comfort an issue?</p>
