Bad high school life ever turn better in college?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I went into a semi-depression mode because I went to a high school I could barely fit in...I didn't have any friends because I was one of the few people who joined in from a middle school that was out of the district....and loneliness hit me.</p>

<p>I've been friendly, and I'm not shy at all. I can talk very well actually....but for some reason, I've made it all the way to Senior year without having anyone's number.....no one calls me...no one hangs out with me at lunch.....I feel really lost.</p>

<p>There are some people that talk, but they aren't my type, and I can't relate....not to be condescending, but they're kinda stupid and don't care about academics.....a lot of people in my high school are.
Then you have the ones constantly involved in drama...
The ones who are actually academic are geeks with social issues (like they play YuGiOh duel monsters....)....I can't find anyone like me, who can chill, make sexual jokes, talk about politics, hit on girls, stay a 4.0 student with a 2240 SAT....they don't seem to see that quality in me either.</p>

<p>Is it my problem I'm feeling lonely or is it the school's environment? But I don't want to think that way. People are people....but then again...I don't know...</p>

<p>I've applied to Cornell, Stanford, Duke, MIT, Caltech, and Princeton and the UCs.</p>

<p>I guess what I'm trying to ask is: Has anyone had a similar experience in High school and eventually make a much better social life in college?</p>

<p>quantum.</p>

<p>don’t lose hope.</p>

<p>the end of high school is near.</p>

<p>and now that you will go to college soon, i guarantee you: you will find ALOT of people you can relate to.</p>

<p>just look at how many people in CC you can relate to.</p>

<p>majority of them will probably end up in the same college you will go to.</p>

<p>good luck, good skill on making the most out of your life. ;)</p>

<p>+1, I’d assume it’d get better for you in college.</p>

<p>In the meantime, if you’re just looking to have fun, why not just let loose the necktie? It’s your senior year, and almost second semester. Your grades will barely count anymore. Why talk about academics now? Learn to hang out with others you originally thought you didn’t like. You may find you’re actually more similar than you thought.</p>

<p>And if all the “smart people” are “geeks with social issues”, why not just chill with the “normal” people? Don’t just assume that because they don’t care about academics, they are stupid and completely different.</p>

<p>I’m not necessarily saying there’s a problem with your mentality, but rather that you should lower your standards. You’re not gonna find a carbon copy of yourself at high school. Learn to relate to other people who are somewhat similar to you. I’m pretty sure there are people who share some of the same interests at you.</p>

<p>Geeks with social issues aren’t so bad.</p>

<p>At least you’re an individual, not a conformist. But no worry, you will find someone to relate to in college.</p>

<p>You’ll probably find someone in college. I know some people who were in your situation and love college.</p>
