<p>I've had a really awkward few years.
In elementary and middle school, I was very social and had a lot of friends. I was happy. But in high school, a lot changed. In 10th grade I ended up getting screwed over by all of my friends. Since then I have basically done my own thing. I do have acquaintances though.
I am now a freshman at community college, but I've been attending there for a year and a half because I completed my senior year of high school at community college. A lot of people in my school go to community college too.
My point is, I just don't have any connections with anyone. I hope to transfer out to a university in the spring semester, because there's going to be no one I'm going to miss except for my family.
Hopefully I'll be able to start over if I transfer, but for now, still attending community college, what can I do to occupy myself until I transfer?</p>
<p>First, wait to transfer; milk the easy community college gravy train through a 2+2 program with a university. Higher GPA, less work, lower tuition, you win.</p>
<p>Second, do not make a big thing about not having connections. Some people are social, you are not, so do not worry.</p>
<p>Be outgoing and confident, and don’t worry about anyone criticizing you. TRUST me on this. I used to be one of the shiest ducks out there. Now, I’m much different. When you’re confident and naturally outgoing, no one is going to mess with you. They’ll only mess with you when they see you’re weak. CAUTION though, don’t pretend to be someone you’re not. I see people like this all the time and it’s extremely embarrassing to watch. It’s all in your head buddy. You can figure it out.</p>
<p>you are going to die alone too</p>
<p>cant take people with you</p>
<p>^^what the hell is your problem?</p>
<p>Chesire Cat…I hope you don’t mind a parental suggestion. </p>
<p>My daughter also attended a community college after returning home from her private university. She was so upset prior to beginning because she thought it was going to be similar to highschool in that the schedule was going from class to home. My daughter became involved with a couple community projests and this made such a huge difference in her cc experience. Every CC has clubs and organizations to join so you might want to make it a point of searching them out.</p>
<p>Also, if you are a honor student, the chapter should also have a large number of activities that you could get involved in. Just look into the clubs and community service projects and you will never feel alone. It really is what you make of it.</p>
<p>Some of the above posters are either trying to be humerous or they just really live secluded lives. Just because a person is on the quiet side that does not mean that they should live this way. The world does need people who think rather than speak without saying much so just take the initiative to find some good outlets that you will enjoy.</p>
<p>Good luck to you!!!</p>
<p>ISU is giving you good advice.</p>
