I feel like such an idiot and a fool. I was only left very simple and easy tasks for programming a gui that i've already completed and not i jsut wander around campus all day and look at my laptop because i dont wanna go back to my apartment because ill just get too sad. Why the fuck did i come back to chicago so early when i have no work to do and sped all my time alone and sad? I feel like such a fool for not making sure they would be here and asking what the exact work i would be doing. I could fucking code this gui in the comfort of my home in alabama, except not weighed down by lonliness, surrounded by my dogs and family. I feel like I'm wasting so much money and i honestly dont think the small amount of money i will net at the end of the summer is worth being miserable like this.
I don't know what to do. Living alone is hard.
Party up motherfuckeeeeer yea!
Youre still getting paid yes? then fuck you.
Maybe go outside and make a friend with your getting paid for doing no work.
Tinder
This isn't /r9k/ you can make friends somehow. Go to the gym, go to the beach, go to some concerts, smoke weed, start talking to people around campus. Ya gotta look for friends if you want them
If you're losing money on this, then you done goofed. Too late to go back now.
see if your college has any hobby clubs.

this issue has nothing to do with your position/university. You will feel like this always no matter what you are doing. You need to keep yourself busy, find an interest and pursue it, do not become codependent on your family, or once they are actually gone, you will become a wreck.
You're an individual person, just like your parents before they met each other, and you have to make your own mark in the world, and this is the appropriate time and place to do so. At least you have a great opportunity and job.
im sure if you were actually busy with work you wouldnt feel this way.

Look for clubs/go to the library and read books

I am afraid of this. I'll be leaving my country for the first time next year to go to grad school and odds are I will probably be away for at least 8 years. How do you deal with this sudden loss? How do you keep your relation alive with your gf? One of my biggest fears is that when I go, she will eventually cuck me. Has that happened to you?

If you are planning on being away from your gf for 8 years you need to break up. It's not fair to anyone to stay together like that, one or both of you are going to cheat. When you get to wherever your going find local groups online that fit your interests and make friends. Join clubs at school too.

Go to South Chicago and make some new friends.
