You would expect a college student to enjoy and look forward to the weekends but not me. Every weekend i just feel so sad and lonely because i know everybody is going out and hanging out and enjoying time together and living the college experience. I always hear people from my dorm screaming and yelling and laughing having a good time while i just sit bored and depressed. It’s my first semester in college and I go to a really big college (one of the biggest in the US).
Ive made a few friends i ive asked them to do something or hit me up if they wanna do something but i never do. My 2 roommates are really boring and dont ever go out so I can never depend on them to go somewhere with literally. The only thing I do just to pass time is workout but it all feels so pointless. Ive met some people through my classes but were in contact only for school stuff really and theyre always out doing stuff but i dont really wanna message them to do something because ill look like a loser.
Once its late at night and everybodys coming back from partys and stuff i hear them all sitting in their dorms playing music, talking, and playing fortnite. My roommates listen to 70s music ffs and dont do anything. I have no problem in social events i actually enjoy parties but im not going to go alone. I wish i was 21 just so i could at least go to the bars around here and it would be easier to meet people that way. Please help idk what to do and sorry this is so long thank you very much.
The gym i work out at it just in my dorm and doesnt have workers its really small. I havent seen or heard about any trips. Ive looked into joining a frat but i need to go to the parties which i dont want to go to alone
You could also study, read, contact older friends, paint or do puzzles, watch tv, play computer games. Boredom seems like a disengaged mind, but thinking, planning, doing something relieve boredom and help you to feel better. Boredom can become a plague in life if you can’t figure out what works to counter it.
Get out of your room and do stuff. I’m hearing excuses, tbh. You say you have some friends. What are those friends doing on the weekend? Do not wait for them to 'hit you up." It won’t happen until they get to know you better. Next weekend, casually say “hey, what’s going on this weekend? Let’s do something.” Nothing is going to happen if you sit around waiting for it to happen. Get a job, volunteer, join some groups.
Not sure why you care what music your roommates listen to. Are they nice people? Do you like them? Have you asked them to go out for food or something? You need to be proactive and stop feeling sorry for yourself.
