Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could offer me counsel about my current situation?
I am currently a first-semester junior, and I have been hating my school more and more ever since I finished my first semester freshman year. My academics have been pretty good, some solid professors. I am also on a varsity sports team, but even the best moments are trumped by experiences I’ve had before college.
The main thing I dislike about this place is the social scene. People here have been very mean-hearted, rude, and very excluded. Most of the people I met freshman year made an opinion about me, and ever since then, they’ve viewed me that way ever since. Now, I am not a jerk or anything, I am a pretty approachable guy. I spent my time back home doing an internship this past summer, and I had no issues with people in that regard. I have also talked to other people from different schools, and they seemed a lot more welcoming than the people here.
It seems that people are extremely cliquey and group oriented, and do not want to deviate from said group.
I have hated this place since, and I deeply regret not transferring out the past two years. My family convinced me to “give it another shot” and promised “that it will get better.” I heeded their words, and it has not. I keep looking at other schools websites, reviews, and other stuff everyday to justify my discontent. I know hindsight is 20/20, and I’m pretty much past halfway, so in that case what should I do?
Thank you.
