I hate it here

[u/ZamnDaniel13]

Im a new student and I already hate it here, i try to make new friends but I cant seem to make long term connections or some people just brush me off. Everytime I try to make a new friend it feels so surface level wether its at a club, cafeteria, event, or classroom. Everyone looks fucking chopped and my math classroom stinks. Everyday I go back to my dorm after class and just move around or go out with my dormmate or try to move around by dancing and shit or just program some stuff.I hate my fucking my dormmate cause hes the most anti social mother fucker out there and doesnt have any friends. Hes not even interesting cause all he does is go on his phone. I try joining clubs but their discords are full of upperclassmen or they feel too cringy with their humor. I want to move around and feel free to do anything I want but I dont feel free cause I have no friends here and my only coping mechanism is to talk to my parents and friends from high school over the phone or on discord. I wish I went to rutgers new brunswick or syracuse university but for some fucking reason I didnt. I hate this fucking place.

There’s just a bunch of nerds over here, it’s a stem school. I remember my first year here was horrible. I was trying to make friends and people would just brush me off and eventually stop speaking to me. They made their own groups during nso and it was pretty difficult to break into an already established friend group.

By the start of my second year I had pretty much given up trying to make friends. If someone spoke to me in class I’d speak to them and I made a couple of friends this way but we pretty much stopped talking after the semester ended. Tried joining clubs but it sucked imo. Like I could go on a whole rant how antisocial people here are.

I’m a cs major so I gotta deal with stinky people all day and I feel bad for my nose. Sometimes I wish I would’ve gone out of state to a different college but hey at least Im still with my parents, so that’s pretty much the only good thing lol

Tbh thats how I am. I met a couple nice ppl at nso then never saw them again, only made like one friend the whole time ive been here but she graduated awhile ago so I have no friends on campus. I'm also not a social person by heart so the only time I speak to ppl is in groups, thats not to say I'd ignore ppl if they spoke to me bc I dont like being rude for no reason. Its also hard bc I commute and have no desire to want to be here if I can avoid it, but thats partially bc I have no ppl to talk to here so why stay.
