I refuse to believe there are no activities anywhere. I think there aren’t any activities that appeal to you upon first hearing about them. You need to just go out, wander around and see what businesses or buildings have lights on. Explore, find things to do.
You feel trapped because you’re just sitting in your room. Events aren’t going to come to you, you have to find them!
Also, avoid comparing yourself to a deathrow inmate. You’re a college student, on a college campus. You’re unhappy, lonely, and not on the campus you’d like to be on, but that’s no reason to compare yourself to someone who can’t choose when they get up, when they shower, what they eat, when they eat, who they talk to, who they see, for how long, etc… and is going to be put to death.
Did you start studying for your driver’s license?
Have you spent time in the tutoring center?
Then why don’t you invite them to do something? It seems kind of silly that there are so many people just sitting around complaining about nothing to do. Go see a movie, get dinner, whatever.
10,000 students at WP, 2,500 who live on campus. Over 40 buildings.
There ARE things to do and people with whom to do them.
So, beside the tutoring center (I notice you didn’t answer that question) and the driver’s manual (ditto), find something to do tomorrow.Here’s basic information. Write a plan for tomorrow, then go and do it http://www.wpunj.edu/campus-life/index.dot http://www.wpunj.edu/campus-activities/
If you feel this way, why don’t you get your license? Or at least start working towards it.
Have you tried getting a job? That can help you meet people and will at least force you to get out of your room on a regular basis. Are you working on improving your grades in your classes? Have you looked into the logistics of transferring?
Here are a some events happening next week (just choose next week in the dropdown menu): https://wpunj.collegiatelink.net/ It looks like there’s a Selma film screening, a couple of game nights, and a Mardi Gras celebration. Why don’t you pick one of those to go to?
The events shown never actually happen, baktrax. Also, the extended time testing center closes very early, preventing me from getting the time that I need.
You never did address the question of how your mom “makes” you do the wrong assignments. Why does your mom even know what your assignments are? YOU own making sure you have the syllabus for each class, are keeping track of any communications from the prof (via writing on the board, telling the class, emails to the class, or posting on the class website if there is one). Your mom should have nothing to do with this. If she tells you to do the wrong stuff, ignore her and do the right stuff.
You sound defeatist and depressed. It’s hard to know if you’ve always had social problems or not. The school should have a counseling program. I would encourage you to engage with it.
It’s amazing that you have an excuse for everything. You don’t want help, you want to complain. You need to tell your mom what-for, talk to your school counselor (I don’t care what you think, you need them), get your license (if you really want it, MAKE TIME), and start going out. Wander campus and go into any building with lights on, I promise you’ll find other people eventually. Get off the computer, making excuses and feeling sorry for yourself, and go do something about your problems.
I have been seeing the school counselor, I’ve been going to the turtoring center, I type these posts from buildings with lights on that aren’t dorms, and I’ve tried and will continue to try to make time to get my license. I had dropped the thing about my mom, but intparent wanted an explanation.
What I’m saying is, we can’t help you any further. If you’re working with counselors, they need to be helping you. You need to put your phone in your pocket, and start walking. I wouldn’t say hi to a kid sitting on his phone, but I would wave to someone walking about unoccupied. If your demeanor in person is the same tone you’re posting here with, then your depression and defeatism is part of what is hindering you.
