I go to UC Irvine and I am a first year. I’m in my second quarter and I haven’t been feeling the best about college. I came back from winter break happy but once I got back I started to feel down again. I moved dorms once because I couldn’t pay off a double and I didn’t really connect with any of the people that lived there. I live in a quad now and eveybody seems to already have formed their groups. I’m like the odd one out. I am kind of shy although at times I might step out of my comfort zone. I am friendly and I hate to see people when their lonely because I know how it feels. I do have a close best friend that comes here with me and we do hang out a lot but we both want to make new friends together and we just can’t seem to. I spend some days crying and feeling so sad because I can’t enjoy college like everyone else. I’ve been having thoughts of leaving even though I don’t really want to. I have joined one club focused on yoga and I did meet some people there but they’re like acquaintances and mostly everyone I know is. Except my friend. Ive also been homesick too. I just want to be happy here.
