<p>I'm bummed. School started great with nice people and a person who wanted to be my roommate. There was one girl that got under everyone's skin and I tried to stay out of it but did agree with people. Now, everyone is friends with that girl; yeah, the one they were all talking about all of the time and none of them will talk to me. My roommate and I don't speak and it is really uncomfortable. I'm quiet and I know I'm not the person who gets the party started. I don't like to start trouble and don't know how to handle this. We got along really well; maybe too good to be true. Now, I'm blown off all the time; people who were my friends visit her and don't talk to me. I'm hundreds of miles from home and don't want to be a wimp but Im feeling pretty down. I eat with people but spend most of my time alone in my room. Help and advice would be so appreciated from all of you who are better at this than me. I was told by everyone that college would be nothing like high school but I feel as though I'm living at my high school.</p>
<p>People are fickle during the first semester. I’d recommend joining a club where you’re certain to find people with similar interests and that keep in mind that it’s better to have found out the people in your dorm were ******s sooner rather than later.</p>
<p>Thanks bandgeek05 it still s…ks but I really should get involved in more activities. I should work out but can’t motivate myself to get to the gym. I can’t wait to get away over thanksgiving break.</p>
<p>Seems like you were friends with shallow people, its better to not let this affect you. So, you go out there and make new friends in your classes or clubs or gym. Remember, people can pull you down if you let them. Do not give them this satisfaction.</p>
<p>Be the person who DOES get the party started</p>
<p>Hey, I’m in the same boat and I don’t know what to do…</p>
<p>You can either </p>
<ol>
<li>Confront them, ask them what their problem is, clear the air. Which is what I would do. </li>
</ol>
<p>or </p>
<ol>
<li>Ignore them, make new friends (universities are big), request for a room change in a different floor or building - I know a girl who did this, and start over.</li>
