Over the past 4 years I have been very depressed. It's not quite unbearable and I'm not suicidal, just pretty down all the time and sad.
I have a group of friends in my home town that keep me sane and being with them allows me to have small bursts of happiness sometimes. But I'm getting scared about the upcoming semester of college.
I am going into my second year and I have literally no friends there, I don't know why I just find it difficult to make them there. When I go back I'm scared my loniless will overcome me and I'll get even worse. I just want some tips for making friends/being more sociable in the college environment. I have a few new roommates this semester, so I'm hoping maybe I can start there.

College is whatever you make it Anon, just start talking to people and join a few clubs.

Apart from knowing each other since childhood, what do you and your old friends have in common? Interests, tastes, type of humor, etc.
Look for people with the same elements in college - there's a good chance they'll be friend material.
