No one is forcing you to go to those events.
I'm a nerdy pothead in a 7 person suite consisting of a gay dude who's never here, my social recluse roommate, and 4 dudes who want to rush frats.
That's the whole point of college. You have to learn to deal with this kind of stuff. If you want friends, you have to be willing to go out of your way to meet them.

I literally can't relate to anyone I've met so far in my 1000 person dorm of 95% freshman.
But you know what, I got out there and met some people. Now I have a name for myself over with an apartment floor that's all transfer students and theatre people.

And you think YOU can't sleep?
I have to deal with these assholes coming in and out of the suite freaking plastered at 2-4am on SCHOOL NIGHTS because they're all about the frat life.
Last night me and some friends came to my room to get something and we discovered my suitemate passed out drunk on the toilet next to pool of vomit.
While being extremely drunk myself, I had to hop over some dudes puke IN OUR SHARED BATHROOM and make sure he wasn't freaking dead.
Now our bathroom still has a faint smell of puke in it.

TL;DR
I needed to rant somewhere and you need to be willing to get out there. Suck it up or transfer.

Well, its also my 2nd day for frosh week, and im having a blast with all the events and stuff, I am shy person but I summed up some courage to go to events and met people and made friends, just be yourself when talking to people and im sure there will be people who gladly be your friend.
Well good luck!

no1 is going to share 100% of ur interests, but even for someone who does share a lot of your interests, small talk is sort of a requirement for talking to anyone really, you can't just jump into a deep convo right off the bat. i sort of have ur problem because i am sort of different from just people in my area in general because i was raised pretty differently considering I go to a good state uni where 80-90% of the students are from the same area, but making more shallow sort of friendships isn't hard you just gotta small talk + do some stuff together, at worst the friendships won't stick

I get that you're a girl, but I'm still going to tell you to man up. You're not even giving college a chance because you're so focused on clinging to the thoughts of how life was pre-college.

Yes, a million people at college are dorks, idiots, smell funny, and are people that most of us would probably not want to even be near if we didn't have to be. But you have to get used to it because they are not going anywhere. And if you finally get away from someone you can't stand, you'll surely find someone else.

But the thing is with all these over-excited, hyperactive people is that they still want to be your friend if you let them. So give them a chance before you sign them off. Because college is going to be a lot more painful if you don't learn to get along with people.

im sure there are people like you around the campus just find them k and for those preppy girls just be nice and fake your excitement thats all

Are any of ur friends from highschool in the same college as u? Hang out with them!

[quote=Siris]girl you have issues.

College is supposed to teach you to be independent. If you can't handle college lyfe I recommend to leave now.[/quote]

Well, right now there's nothing to do. Class hasn't even started. I can't handle orientation/frosh week. It's like freakin' summer camp.

yes, parking is awful!

@VoidWreakzz Lol no. To society, I probably look transgendered. The back half of my head is shaved and the front is short. And I've been told I look 14. And I'm overweight.

If you want to continue a conversation with minimal effort: get other people to talk about themselves or things they like, and all you have to do is nod and make affirmative noises every so often.

If you want to end a conversation: start talking passionately about something you like, and they'll naturally start backing off because they don't understand.

My conversation tips. You're welcome.

[quote=VoidWreakzz]Get a boyfriend. He'll help you out [/quote]

LOL yeah. I can't even make friends.

@Gyroscope Yeah, but I don't get to see my mom and dad. I used to hang out with them every day. I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW THINKING ABOUT THEM.

Yeah, I'm trying. But all I've been able to ask is where people are from, and what program they're taking.
