<p>I had an enjoyable and exciting freshman year at college but lately I have become progressively more unhappy at school. I live wishing for my next break and for the chance to leave school. I just feel so bored here. I am an incredibly high energy person and I just hate that I am awake 4 hours before all my other room mates or that everyone is always just sleeping and being lazy. I have joined clubs I enjoy but I just feel that I had a much easier time finding people who enjoyed living an active and busy lifestyle everywhere else but at college. I have only been back for 1 day after winter break and I am already hoping to leave soon. It has been even harder for me because I had such an amazing winter break and I don't want to talk about it because I already feel like I give off unhappy vibes which only push people away. I am trying to have a good attitude but I just want to go back on break. I know that a bad attitude won't help anything but at some point I just can't help being down. I can't remember a single moment of my winter break when I wasn't happy and enjoying my life, even though I switched settings 3 times, I was happy at each place. College is honestly the first point in my life I can ever say I was unhappy and even borderline depressed at some points. My family is also very active so I was always around people willing to wake up early in the morning and go hiking or take exciting trips and go on adventures. Here it takes everyone hours to get organized. I'm just so disenchanted that I can't seem to find things that make me happy here. I feel like I have tried so hard and I know that I go to a top 20 school that should offer me everything I need. Any advice?</p>
<p>I am a strong proponent of abolishing rankings just because of this. You are at a “Top 20” school that “should offer you everything you need” but it clearly isn’t. This wasn’t your best fit, I suggest you reevaluate your needs and find a school that meets them. Maybe a school in Colorado, Oregon, or any other place that is known for being active.</p>
<p>Try clubs and stuff or maybe a sports team.</p>
<p>Sounds like this school is a bad fit for you. You may want to research some transfer options.</p>
