<p>Ever since I got back to my University from winter break I have absolutely hated every minute of it. I am a freshman and I attend a mid to large state school in the Midwest, my first semester I "moderately" liked my school mostly because of my awesome roommate and my good schedule...now this semester I have gone from liking my University to hating it; nobody wants to be my friend, my roommate (who is my best friend on campus) keeps making hints he doesn't want to room with me again, my professors aren't great and they are really laying on the homework. </p>
<p>Did this happen to anyone else your second semester? How did you deal with it? And also if anybody has tips on getting my roommate to room with me again that would be great, because if he doesn't I might consider transferring.</p>
<p>I am sorry, it sounds like you are having a bad day. Winters in the Midwest aren’t pretty! What is wrong with being upfront with your roommate? Just say, “hey I really want to room together again next year, what do you think?”</p>
<p>Sounds like you have the mid- Winter funk… People around you might be picking up on your mood.
I would talk to your roommate and make sure he is still good with being roommates now… and the possiblity of next year. And find others and ask them to hang out, or form a study group for a class that is hard.
The begining of the semester is always a time with more work at college… It will get better!</p>
<p>Midwest winters suck, lol. I’m always tempted to sort of hibernate and close myself off to the world after a while, but it’s good to stay active and hang out with your friends and keep on top of things. My best advice is to just look for people you share interests with, because the people you meet in college really makes the experience. You could join a club or go to events or even join a sorority if you want to dedicate that much time to being social. Don’t be afraid to talk to people and overall, do things that make you happy because then you’ll meet people like you and they’ll be attracted to how happy you are. And for the homework, maybe you should take a study course, it could teach you how to organize your time and take good notes, etc. It sucks having a lot more to do, but I learned that if you dedicate about 1-2 hours a day for each subject, it’s better than cramming at the last minute and you feel more organized. Hope this helps and I hope your semester gets better :)</p>
<p>Well I currently also hate my school but I’ve hated it ever since I started going there. I’m on my second semester. I am dropping out at the end of this semester and then going to a CC for a year. Then I will e transferring to a UC. But I hate my school because it is a very small school and I am livin at home with my school 3 blocks from where I live and new a change. If you don’t love your school, I would transfer. Not worth paying all that money just to hate the school</p>
<p>Welcome to college. It sucks sometimes, doesn’t it? This happened to me second semester freshman year also. Things went from bad to worse. If your roommate doesn’t want room with you again possibly get a single or apartment? Some colleges have Facebook roommate compatibility generators. Maybe you could do that?</p>
