>thought college was going to be different >first week

What State? If it's in NY, let's go get some drinks.

Really appreciate the offer, but Im in florida

dunno bud
i managed a full year of uni without making a single friend and spending all my time alone in the library studying.
never went back because it was an anxiety filled mess of a time, and I hated having to wake up to go to uni just to suffer in loneliness.

>>39265114
>out of the ten classes i took before i dropped out 3 professors asked when i started going to class.

The classes only had like 30 students tops and I sat in the front two rows of every class. It was like I literally didn't exist.

>>39265114
I'm about to graduate Uni and realized I have spent 95% of my waking hours in the past 4 years in my recliner chair in front of the TV/monitor.

It's not a fun existence. Do whatever you can to avoid it even if it gives you anxiety.

You fags think you have it bad?

I'm only in my second year and I'm 23.

Every <20 girl looks at me like I'm 35

>>39265220
OP here, I'm also starting late

>>39265147
wassup usf uf or fsu

>honestly thought college would be like the movies with giant lecture bowls and uncaring professors in every class

I want to drop out everytime I hear some professor with a shit eating grin say something like "I'm not your stand in front and lecture kind of professor. I prefer active learning and group engagement"

>>39265230
It's depressing as fuck man. Try not to think about it a lot and involve yourself in as many things as possible.

>>39265240
UF, luckily it's not quite as hardcore normie as FSU but it's still pretty bad

>>39265260
Luckily Im only starting a year late. I couldn't go last year because I was on accutane for six months and it made going outside in the sun impossible even with the most preparation, and Im in florida.
Acne cleared up but I have scars now so it doesnt even really matter

>>39265127
Columbia or NYU?

>>39265249
>I prefer active learning and group engagement

This is unironically the best way of learning and how to make friends in your major.

>>39265298
>This is unironically the best way of learning
not him but i can literally only learn from reading textbooks. watching other people do it just does nothing for me

I'm in an upstate NY college

HOW THE FUCK DID PEOPLE MAKE FRIENDS SO GODDAM FAST
IT'S BEEN LITERALLY THREE DAYS OF CLASSES AND EVERYBODY IS ALREADY DOING SHIT ALL THE TIME

Join societies and clubs. I bet your uni has a board game or anime society. Sports societies (especially co-ed ones) are also good.

>>39265298
>This is unironically the best way of learning

I always get way more out of straight lectures because I can just be comfy and put all my energy toward taking in the information instead of stressing out nonstop about the group.

>>39265262
oh, usf master race here lol

Whenever someone says, "I'm more of a visual learner", I want to punch them in the face.

Anyone in Indiana wanna hang? Wasted my freshman year and don't want to do it again

>>39265114
I was the same anon. Only time people ever talked to me was to copy my work or to join their group while they do nothing and leech off me.

OP here
I'm seriously feeling super suicidal.

>>39265736
If you are somewhere near me, we could do it together. Maybe it's easier.

>eat uncooked ramen blocks regularly, even though I fell for the meal package meme
>cant sleep until 4am, sometimes wont sleep at all and would crash from exhaustion the next day
>stopped bothering with shaving eventually, no point when the rest of me looked unwashed and disgusting anyway
>went from underweight to dangerously underweight
i fucked up pretty bad, at least I did laundry though.

>>39265821
>went from underweight to dangerously underweight
this is happening to me too. at night i sometimes cant sleep because my stomach hurts so much from not eating, but i hate being in the dining hall so much

>>39265292
1 year is nothing tonnes of people do that anyway

>>39265925
All I can really say is go eat, malnutrition can really fuck you up and I just remember feeling like shit the whole time I lived in the dorms because of it. even if it's hard for you neglecting that can mess you up on a mental level

>>39265479
I'm still in Broward college ;-;

>>39266071
fuck off devin

>>39265398
People are more open to making friends in the first week or two of each semester.
