<p>and no stellar GPA.</p>

<hr>

<p>-I haven’t even seen my grades yet let alone know what they are.</p>

<p>I’m beginning to agree with panic, why does this forum attract so many friendless moaners or pervy geeks? </p>

<hr>

<p>-Because the people with lives don’t have the problems we do.</p>

<p>…then you are missing the point. People have friends because it is fun and people enjoy being around each other. You don’t seem fun, and you don’t seem to be fun to be around. </p>

<hr>

<p>-I’ve had friends before, not many, but yes I’ve had friends, I doubt that over summer break I became this boring hopless worthless person you describe so.</p>

<p>Um, is that a joke? If you can’t find any club that relates to your own self-serving/extracurricular interests (and I’m wondering what these are, exactly?), you should be able to get some satisfaction out of helping others.</p>

<hr>

<p>-Volunteering is the largest waste of time I have ever been forced to do. I am working for people I don’t know, will never know, don’t want to know, and don’t give a **** about. But I am not getting paid to do it. $8.25 an hour to deal with people is fine, but for no pay, I don’t thikn so.</p>

<p>Now that I am getting tired of quoting, let me sum up some other things, if I have problems making friends, what makes you think I could form a club and get people to join it. A club of one doesn’t sound fun. I want to start working out again but I do not have the time between work and school and recreation. And I am not paying for more classes than I need to. I am lucky enough that I got a full ride scholarship for being smart, black and poor, I don’t want to waste it on “fun” classes(*** is a fun class)</p>

22

<p>it’s easier than you make it sound , i never had friends in high school and people still came to my clubs back then</p>

<p>you just have to know how to organize and market and people will come</p>

23

<p>Cry me a river, go build a bridge, and jump off it…</p>

<p>You ***** and complain about not having any ‘‘fun’’, you won’t list what you intrests are so how the **** are we going to be able help you?</p>

24

<p>I have goals and stuff. To like get a girlfriend, got to my first party, not be home alone on New Years Eve for once. But what do you mean by interests?</p>

25

<p>try internet dating</p>

26

<p>isn’t internet dating for the losers who no one likes?</p>

27

<p>exactly !</p>

28

<p>

</p>

<p>I literally just laughed out loud at how ridiculous this is. Posters on this thread don’t know, will never know, don’t want to know, and don’t give a s— about YOU, but you still created the thread hoping that they’d help you out somehow, am I right?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You call yourself “poor,” but you don’t sound like you’ve had to rise above that kind of challenge. You sound like you can’t do a thing for yourself and expect everyone else to make life perfect for you.</p>

29

<p>A ha ha aha. I see what you did there. Plus 100% of those are scams. I believe that I, like others, have what it takes to make friend/relationships, and go to parties and stuff, but for some reason when I try to establish that kind of life style I always get short handed with little aquaintances. I mean its bad enough everyone in the class knows my name but I don’t know any of theirs but more so that I can say hi, they will say hi back. And all I get is small talk people. Not, lets go and do_____* people.</p>

30

<p>yea it’s kind of hard to make that leap ,
try finding out where other people hang out on campus between classes ,
and go hang out in their general vicinity ,
like at my school folks congregate in the tutoring lab
(but i had no idea until i explored and figured out they hung out there)
people are more willing to have extended conversations when it’s not in the middle of class</p>

<p>p.s. i met my current boyfriend on okcupid so ha</p>

31

<p>By “poor” I mean my mom(single parent) yearly income qualified me for the scholarship. And to say that I expect everything to be done for me…I take offense to that. I honestly in my life haven’t had that many friends and my mom was always working(two jobs sometimes). So I’ve always had to do things my self, or by myself, like going to movies, overcoming shyness and depression, gaining confidence to go to prom alone and just dance for fun. I’ve always had to do things for my self.</p>

32

<p>Wait, you have time between your classes? I have the same group of people for all 3 of my classes every day and it pretty much is, go to class A walk 5 ft to next class, leave class b, leave for lunch, walk 5 more ft to class C. Going to a real, large college sounds like a luxury compared to what I am doing.</p>

33

<p>well i come to school early and stay late so even when my classes are over i’m still there ,
it beats sitting at home alone , usually at school there are people around to distract me from wanting to kill myself</p>

34

<p>My Xbox keeps me from killing myself. Killing terrorists online is so fun!</p>

35

<p>game consoles are cool but there are like 3 zillion joysticks and i never get the hang of the controls , especially in the games with 3d graphics , i only really learned to play 2d platform side scrollers</p>

36

<p>3 zillion=left thumbstick and right thumbstick. lol okay.</p>

37

<p>it feels like that when you’ve never played one before , and besides there are four triggers and an arrow pad and buttons </p>

<p>this coming from someone who couldn’t play world of warcraft because she didn’t realize wasd existed and spent the whole time clicking the mouse</p>

38

<p>Don’t automatically discount certain clubs just because you believe all the people in it will be the same. People have diverse interests. Sure, there might be some meatheads or ex-jocks in the Sports Club, but I’m sure there are more than a few people that do it just for ha-has. Trying it out is certainly better than suffering along friendless.</p>

39

<p>and don’t go the other way and join the catholic club when you’re a super liberal agnostic ,
trust me i tried that and it didn’t work out</p>

<p>@OP: I feel you man, I know what it’s like to be without friends on New Years.</p>
