<p>it's been a month since i moved in, and as the title suggests, it's been depressing so far. i don't know how and where to start so I'm basically gonna be throwing in thoughts.
I'm not a party guy, but I'm fine with going out every now and then, but so far everyone I've met literally likes going out to "get ****ed up". I'm not like that; i like going out to have fun and just be chill. with partying out of the way (after 2 halloween party nights, i decided i dont like the party scene at all), i find it difficult to make friends. I'm used to having a fairly sized network of super close friends, just as I did in HS. i even went home last weekend since i missed my friends; it was amazing, i didn't want to go back to SB. here i am though, 1 month in, at the library listening to music since i find peace here.
I'll fill in more details if y'all ask, I'm just using ny phone so i don't wanna type everything in one post.
thanks for any future help.</p>
<p>TL;DR - had amazing life during 4years of HS, moved to UCSB / lives in dorms, doesn't fit in, can't make true/real friends, depressed a lot recently</p>
<p>This is my exact situation to a T at UMiami. It is indeed extremely depressing. I don’t really have any advice for you…guess I just wanted to commiserate. And at least you know you’re not alone. :P</p>
<p>tried, still in one. I mean there are a lot of nice people, not just ones that I can be myself around with. last time I tried being myself with a group of people, they thought I was drunk. It’s quite annoying tbh</p>
<p>well i guess i made it sound worse. lol
i can’t blame them really cuz when i act myself and when I’m comfortable with people, I’m very happy-go-lucky, i don’t care what people think of me kind of person. but i guess since they were out drinking themselves, it came off as me acting all drunk :/</p>
<p>Let’s trade places. UCSB is ranked in the top 5 in my field of interest, and is ranked among the top cities to live in. How would like to live in Iowa??</p>
<p>actually the main reason as to why I picked this school. pretty much because of its ranking as an engineering college. but because of this situation i’m in, i feel like i can trade any day</p>
