Hi everyone, I’m writing because I think I dont fit into the college lifestyle and wanted to get your thoughts. I just transferred to a large state school from a small private school. I hated the small private school; I didn’t fit in, it was so far from home, and everyone had a lot of money. I thought I would be so much happier transferring to a school that was the complete opposite of my last school, but I’m not happy here either. I’m starting to think it was me, and not the school I transferred from that was/is the problem. I can’t seem to make any friends, and I just don’t get how people DO college. I don’t get how people always have friends to go to the dining hall, what they do on the weekends, how they always have people with them, where they hang out, etc, This is crazy, I know, but I just don’t think I’m fit for college life. Now that I’m so close to home I go home on the weekends, which i know doesn’t help, but it keeps me sane, I’m an average teenager; I had a ton of friends in high school, and my social life was good. All my friends seem to love college and I just don’t get how. Also, I know I’m supposed to join stuff to meet knew people, and I have. I’m on the D1 varsity crew team here, as I was at my last private school, as I was in high school too. I feel like I’m just aquantences with the girls on the team while they’re all best friends, and it was the same last year. People always seem to click with someone, or be drawn to at least one person to stick around with, and I feel like that never happens to me and I’m always on the outside. Also, I should mention I’m not a big partier, but mainly because I have no one to go out with. I’m not against it, but I can’t go alone, and Im not a raging partier. A lot of the girls on the team do, but we’re not really all friends enough for me to join them. And please don’t say, “just ask to go with them!” because it’s not like that, and that would just be weird and probably make things worse. I also like to go to bed at a reasonable time and get up early, which no one in college seems to do. Sorry this is so long, but any advice? Or anyone else who feels like me? Thanks guys I appreciate it.
