<p>The past couple of years were hard for me. My freshman year, I went to a high school that none of my friends went to. I got really depressed and did bad in my school work, so they transferred me to the school were all of my friends were at my sophomore year. But my friends changed and I ended up getting screwed over by them. Because I transferred for them, it was a traumatic experience for me, because I didn't have any friends.
This year(junior year) I focused a lot on my school work and academics, and had someone to talk to in every one of my classes. But I still feel like I'm not social.
Because my high school years were not what I expected them to be, I decided that I'm gonna finish school early. Instead of going to school for my senior year, I will take classes at my local community college. I'm still gonna graduate with my class, and then after that I plan on going to Pennsylvania College of Technology. But my biggest fear is that I won't make any friends in college.
So is college the same friend-wise as high school?</p>
<p>Reach out to people and you will make friends. Make conversations with people in class. Leave your dorm room open. Ask for phone numbers and ask if they’re free to grab lunch or something. Things will happen naturally.</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re not the only one who won’t know anyone.</p>
<p>I’m going to NYC this fall and I don’t know a single person. lol </p>
<p>man up and be brave.</p>
<p>Don’t worry nastynate, you’ll know meeeee
And the 800 other NYUers who go on CC. : D</p>
<p>I’ll be your e-friend.</p>
<p>Sorry to sound harsh but you really need to be more independent. Your social life shouldn’t really be affecting your school work.</p>
<p>chris2k5, Wow did you not read my post? I said that this year I focused more on school! I acually became more independant and mature this year, without having the drama that comes with friends. But thanks for assuming.</p>
<p>^ Well my apologies.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>welll you know me via CC!</p>
<p>I live 3000 miles from my school. At the time of attending, I knew absolutely no one in the state of my school, not just the school itself. </p>
<p>“I’m scared I won’t make friends in college.” You and EVERY SINGLE OTHER INCOMING FRESHMAN feels this way. Don’t worry so much. Act as friendly as you can, smile, introduce yourself to people and things tend to fall into place.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>this is true. LOL buttt I’ve never met you so I don’t really know you. </p>
<p>Regardless, I agree with the other posters, you’re not the only one who feels this way. lol</p>
<p>Don’t worry, you’ll make friends.</p>
<p>Maybe.</p>
<p>You’ll make friends if you have the desire to. </p>
<p>Go to Amazon.com and search “People Are Idiots And I Can Prove It.” Buy it, then read it, then change your life so you can change your results.</p>
<p>Sounds like you want and want, but you’re not willing to do to get.</p>
<p>If you want friends, you’ll do and learn in a way that will lead to you getting those friends. Can you do that? That’s the question you should be asking yourself.</p>
<p>the people with no friends are either too shy or are always worried about their own problems. care about other people and eventually some will care about you back</p>
<p>Friends are over-rated. What do you think CC is for!?</p>
<p>You don’t need the friends. Why else do you think Al Gore created the Internet?</p>
<p>Friends are only good for stalking online. True story.</p>
<p>It will probably be easier for you to make friends in college than in high school because EVERYONE is entering without any friends. Sometimes it’s hard to do this in high school because there are already established “groups” and you might be an outsider… but as long as you don’t let your fear get the best of you and put yourself out there the first year, I’m sure you’ll be fine. Ignore these negative comments, people are annoying here, sometimes.</p>
<p>You will definitely make friends. Unlike in high school, here you can’t take the easy way out and go be with your friends. You’re stuck in a new environment with a bunch of new people who feel the exact same way as you. Everyone will be in the same boat you’re in and will try to make friends. As long as you don’t overthink, relax, and be nice and friendly, you’ll be fine.</p>
