Hit Rock Bottom 1st year of college...So lonely.

<p>I am echoing other posts but I think it cannot be said enough…do not move off campus, this will isolate you more. You also need to pull up your grades, that is not helping with your feelings and you are probably frustrated with yourself as much as anything else. </p>

<p>If you are at the college mentioned, there must be many volunteer opportunities all around you Helping others may actually help you as well.</p>

<p>Please contact the campus counseling center. You are a huge university and it can be so hard to find your niche. I am glad you are still looking but perhaps you need to stop “looking” for a friend and find a way to feel good about yourself first (againk volunteering is a wonderful way to do so). It is hard to get close to someone when you are not feeling particularly good about yourself.</p>

<p>Please, read these posts. Whichever path you choose, it is not too late to turn your college experience around.</p>

<p>Nottelling is awesome!!</p>

<p>agree with notelling.
I get it, you havent found your niche, as an introvert it is hard. My D has good friends but she is fortunate, it is hard when you dont party and she feels this. As hard as it is you have to stick around, in clubs and activities, eventually they get used to you being around and then you belong. Have the attitude that you are an awesome person to know, and be persistent. Remember that introverts take longer to warm up. Its also hard to be an introvert as most people are extroverts. Do not move in to off campus housing. I dont t hink you are picky, you just havent met your group yet. Hang in there, you sound ike a great kid and you will get here.</p>

<p>Thank you for all of the replies. I feel like part of it IS on me and I just didn’t know how to turn things around. Thank you for all of the wonderful advice. I really appreciate it!!
I will try to be more open and force myself to do things out of my comfort zone. Thanks again! :)</p>
