<p>Will this get better in college?</p>
<p>I mean, is it normal to not have many friends in high school, no boyfriend, literally do almost nothing socially, and get to college and have that change. It's not that I want to be like that, it just kind of happens. I am hoping I can be a new person in college and have many friends and actually do stuff, stuff that friends do together. Do any people feel the same way, or is this just me?</p>
<p>Is it because you do a lot of extra curricular activities or sports?</p>
<p>I felt that way Freshman year, actually, but I've gotten better at time management, but there are certain times of year when I feel that way (the fall, when volleyball takes up my life). I have no clue about college.</p>
<p>yeah, i'm either doing homework, an activity, sports practice, academic competition, and I don't even think about having a social life, there is just too much on my platre</p>
<p>In that case, you probably won't have to worry about it in college. The reason I say this is because now we do all those things to be "well-rounded" to get into a good college. Once in college we won't have to worry about that, so it should settle down. All of those activities won't be necessary in college.</p>
<p>i quit doing things just to look good for college. now i do fun stuff. including hanging out with my friends and skipping class to go wakeboarding every once in a while. enjoy yourself more.</p>
<p>I felt like that for a while.</p>
<p>But now I am cutting back on school quite a bit (still holding mostly A's, but low) and enjoying the last bit of high school in all its glory.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice</p>
<p>jkjkjkj</p>
<p>I definitely feel the same way and have the same hopes/worries</p>
<p>my closest friends were seniors last year so this year feels much more empty w/out them home as much</p>
<p>also, its the same old people in all my classes..the same gossiping girl cliques and guys who still sit on the opposite of the room from girls -_-</p>
<p>I once had a life.</p>
<p>Then my parents caught me, with my 'drug addiction' -- suffice to say, the sun just doesn't seem to shine as bright with no social things to look forward to.</p>
<p>i have no life. but all my good friends also have no life, so we're suffering through it together. XD in senior year we'll all cut loose. </p>
<p>i think we've all decided that working hard now is worth it. i know a girl whose brother is in dartmouth--she says that he parties 80% of the time.</p>
<p>my problem is my friends-- i am not my best friends' best friends, if that makes sense. my bf's have WAY too many good friends, like 20 or so, and must "divide their time." its completely understandable, just frustrating. and i go to a tiny school and mtg ppl from other schools is hard so im just kinda stuck in my own little world. thats why i am so excited about college!!!!!! hells yea the partay is comin!!!</p>
<p>Jeez. A healthy social life is part of being a "well-rounded" individual. If you are unhappy or dissatisfied because the vast majority of your time is occupied by college-related pursuits, I think that's an indicator that your priorities need to be adjusted. Remember, just because you can't put it on an application doesn't mean it isn't worth doing, and just because you set aside a few hours (at least) every week for just hanging out doesn't mean you'll blow your chances at Whatever University.</p>
<p>i know, but even when I'm not doing important stuff like school, i really don't have a solid group of friends to hang out with, just a few people, but i cant really relate to them, and I don't want to go and party the way others do, I am not into drugs or drinking at all</p>
<p>Sorry for going on so long about this, but it is nice to see that other people feel the same way sometimes</p>
<p>Hmm. Are there any clubs or after-school activities you do (silly question, as I'm sure there are)? The people at those are likely to share interests with you. Why don't you try to strike up a conversation with a few of them? You're bound to encounter at least one person to whom you can relate. They might invite you some place, or you might have to take initiative and ask them to hang out yourself. That could be a good way for you to bust into a group.</p>
<p>The same principle applies to people you talk to in your classes. I guess the main thing is you're going to need to be outgoing and willing to step out of your comfort zone, at least at first.</p>
<p>I came back late after midnight after hanging out with friends in downtown this Saturday. Frankly, I didn't like it. Is this life? I'd much rather not live my way than.</p>
<p>well yea i have that problem but its pretty much because there simply isnt anything to do where i live (small city). depending on where you go to college it should get A LOT better</p>
<p>Well, now that I'm a second semester senior I feel that a lot of weight has been lifted off of me and my social life is starting to emerge from dormancy (thank GOD!)</p>
<p>haha I LOVE being a second semester senior.</p>
<p>^i HATE being a second semester junior</p>
