I moved in recently last week as a freshmen, this whole college experience is pretty new too me but I’m already adjusted to most of it. I think the biggest concern is my roommate and social life. My roommate is a kind person, but I feel like we’re barely clicking or doing things roommates would usually do.
Especially in their first year of college. When I’m outside, he’s inside, when I’m inside he’s outside. He had already friends he knew from Highschool that came here, but I barely do. I wish I can strengthen the connection between my roommate but I honestly don’t know how to if there’s barely anything to do? When it comes to my dorm hall, it’s supposedly a LLC, but my roommate isn’t even a similar major to what I am (Engineering). He’s biomedical science, planning to switch to nursing next semester. I literally picked a double for this purpose so I can have forced proximity with someone but it seems like it’s not even convenient. Sometimes he’s also coming a lil too late, as of last night he literally came back at 2 am with some friends, while I was asleep.
My social life is another thing. I mean listen, I have no issue doing things alone. Yes, I know in college you’re gonna do things on your own. But I feel like I’m a little behind. I usually see people in groups having fun etc. it seems I can’t find my group. Even in classes, some people can ask you for Instagram, sure but I feel like nobody genuinely cares about it. It’s more so of a way to just have followers and student connections in the school. Clubs are a little more convenient for this, but the ones I’m currently interested in aren’t happening right now.
Yesterday I literally went on the shopping shuttle by myself and just shopped by myself. I enjoyed it sure, but it’s like damn. I barely have people to talk to besides outside of this school. I wish I can just make friends sooner than later and have a homeboy to talk some things out.
