<p>Here's my situation: I'm a freshman, am currently commuting back and forth to college (which is about 30 mins away from home) but I am going to live there next semester. I found a nice roommate to room with. I actually met her at orientation, because we both spent the night and shared the same dorm room. We talked a little and decided to room together. She's a good girl, kind of reserved, doesn't go out much. Honestly, right now though, I am feeling a bit lonely. I thought college was supposed to be a huge experience, with new friends and lots of fun and all that. I have met some people, but they're mainly acquaintances and not good FRIENDS, you know? It kind of still feels like high school. I didn't have too many dear friends in high school, only acquaintances really, and I'm kind of quiet to begin with. I just wish I had someone to talk to sometimes. I don't like getting on Facebook and seeing kids from my old high school having the time of their lives at their colleges because they went away to schools like UT, A&M, etc..I'm not doing any of that stuff. Not now anyways. My school isn't really much of a party school to begin with, there are a lot of commuters but they recently built some more dorms so I decided to live there instead of waste my parent's gas money lol. But my grades are really good. That's the only good thing that I'm happy about are my grades, and that my parents help me out a lot money wise and stuff and don't throw me out to the wolves lol. It's just friend wise.</p>
<p>I’m not trying to complain or anything.</p>
<p>Well, 30 minutes is kind of far. Maybe if you lived in the dorms next year you would have a chance to expand your circle. At least your grades are good; in 20 years, your college grades will probably be more important than how many friends you made freshman year. And hopefully you’ll be overflowing with friends then too.</p>
