<p>I am absolutely miserable in college. Everything is extremely overwhelming and confusing in my school, and it's hard to find people to ask. I've always been shy, and it didn't help that I discovered I had mono the first week of school. I missed the opportunity to make friends when everyone else was, and now that I'm somewhat healthier everyone seems to have formed these cliques that don't involve me. So, I joined a sorority hoping to make friends and now I have a few people I can call "friends" but that I won't actually hang out with me unless there's a big group. I've tried. I eat every meal by myself and I spend all of my free time alone in my room (my roommate is in the same sorority but she's very popular with everyone and never invites me along). There have been no people I really find so interesting that I'm willing to really push for a friendship. Not to mention that it seems like the only thing people do here for fun is get drunk and sleep around which isn't really my thing. This school is extremely expensive and I don't want to stay if I already hate it this much, but the reason I chose this school is for the major "Entertainment and Arts Management". It's the only thing I really want to do and I don't want to change majors but I can't find any other school that has this! Can someone please help me? Even if it's just to recommend a healthy dose of prozac?</p>
<p>It sucks that you got mono when you did, I got it around Christmas my freshmen year and it sucked. But you’re giving up and not trying. Of course you’re miserable. You have to take control of your own destiny, don’t rely on other people to appear interesting when you don’t bother to leave your room, don’t rely on your roommate to invite you out. You need to reconsider your strategy and give it another shot, it was a good idea to try and join a sorority, but if it’s not working out you need to move on to something else. You can do this. You have a really cool major and it’s way too soon to give up on it to transfer, you’re going to have the same problems anywhere else unless you learn some different social strategies.</p>
