<p>and it is EXTREMELY boring, this school deserves its "socially dead" reputation. Whoever created the survey to match you with roommates should be fired as well. This school is wack and i wanna go home which is 1% more exciting.</p>
<p>title should say 2 weeks that how insane i’ve become since being here</p>
<p>Lol what college you in?</p>
<p>I’m from ERC and it’s pretty much the opposite here!</p>
<p>Then go home and quit complaining. You can always drop out and live a 1% exciting life at a community college then transfer somewhere “more exciting.”</p>
<p>Live your life. Don’t just go to a school like UCSD because it was the best one you could get into.</p>
<p>Personally, I’m having a blast; it’s all about who you talk to and where you go.</p>
<p>Its only been two weeks, you may need to give it some more time. Evaluate what type of social life you are really looking for, and then act off that. If you are looking for parties I assure you every school has some, they just need to be found…otherwise, every school has clubs, and nearby restaurants/bars etc. The biggest part of the first few weeks of school is to try and get comfortable with being out of your element, you HAVE to talk to new people that you have never met before, and if you don’t then anywhere you go you will end up socially doomed.</p>
<p>If you are looking for parties and you sincerely think there are none to be found, then perhaps it is time to get off the forum and go throw one yourself!</p>
<p>LOL I know where the parties/clubs/dances/food/etc is at. i think because my roommates are RARELY willing to leave i feel somewhat depressed. it really is nothing like i imagined, if anything i just had a bad morning. In fact i saw the cutest girl in the elevator to day, but was too tired and too sweaty from my adventure to and from the beach, that i said nothing to her and only slighty smiled when she got off.</p>
<p>but yeah, i need to find people who are more “willing” to do stuff.</p>
<p>the worst thing u can do it hang out with ur roomates who don’t go out…thats what i did and they depressed me haha sooo i ended up hating the school i was at, LMU, and left! (but i would have ended up leaving anyways but not trying to go out didn’t help)</p>
<p>if your roommate sucks as much as you say they do, then don’t hang out with them. go out and be a social ucsd student and help break that stereotype. not talking to people, including the cute girl in the elevator, just contributes to the socially dead rep that ucsd has.
and you don’t have to be best friends with your roommates. yeah it would be super awesome if stuff always works out like that, but unfortunately nothing is that perfect and sometimes you just need to improvise with the situations you’re dealt. just go out and meet people that enjoy the things you do because you don’t want to spend all of your time on cc talking about how boring school is.
btw i mean all of this in the nicest way.</p>
<p>Its like that whenever you start a new school. Everyone is shy and doesnt talk and then you slowly start to make new friends.
That sucks that you dont get along with your roommate. I bet if you wanted to you could trade rooms with someone else. If your RA is cool they might let you switch with someone else. The problem is getting everyone to agree. I dont know if they let you do that at your college, but i bet there are some where you can.</p>
<p>@INSERT
listen to what paradise17 said. couldnt have said it better myself.</p>
<p>Agreed as well! I don’t know many people who even got along with their roommate, let alone became best friends. Don’t expect things to work out that way, go out and meet NEW people – and 2 weeks is so short. You met your high school friends likely over months and years, and it should seem like college should instantly be the same - but it takes time.</p>
<p>Anyone who thinks this campus is boring has never hung out in I House on a Friday or Saturday night. Check it out.</p>
<p>i hear ya paradise.</p>
<p>I plan on branching out of campus to pursue something that ive wanted to do since ive discovered it.</p>
<p>I house…what exactly happens on these days?</p>
<p>thanks for the advice, i’m just havin a hard time adjusting is all.</p>
