<p>Girl, I feel you. 100%. All of my friends went to college a month before me, as my school has shorter terms than theirs, and they made it seem like this huge party where everyone’s cool and being social is easy. WRONG. I mean don’t get me wrong, everyone’s friendly enough, theres just no ‘click’ you know? This was especially difficult for me because I had a good amount of close friends in high school and very rarely felt alone there so this was the last thing I expected for college. Not to mention the fact that my roomie got kicked out so I’m now practically living on my own. And trust me that sounds way cooler than it really is! It gets lonely and can be kind of depressing especially when I hear the girls and guys on my floor out in the hall living it up. They’re cool, btw, but just not my type of crowd.I’m not the type to force myself into a group simply for the sake of “having friends.” I think a lot of people do that especially in situations like this but I’d recommend the opposite. The only way to find authentic friends is for you to be your authentic self, whether that means being the lone wolf for awhile or whatever. But anyways, I try not to be the type to just sit around and wallow in my problems so I decided to at least try some stuff ya know? I joined a few clubs, for instance, and if nothing else that keeps me busy, so I have less time to be lonely. Also I’m making more of an effort to push myself towards starting conversations and what not instead of waiting for everyone to come to me, as can be my habit. This whole college thing is definitely a work in progress but I don’t think it has to be a miserable one. Keep your head up! I’m convinced that we can both do this!</p>
