What It's Like Having No Friends In College

Hint: It is very lonely.

What It's Like Having No Friends In College
didyouknow.com

Coming into college as a little freshman I knew making friends was going to be hard, but I didn't think it would be like this. At first I was very open to meeting new people and experiencing new things, but I quickly found out no one here shares the same values as me. While I have met a bunch of great girls I just haven't found anyone like me.

The first few weeks I thought I would go out to parties to meet new people, but being the sober one who has a boyfriend back home quickly made partying not fun. Everyone I was surrounded by was drinking, except me. I told myself this isn't who I want to surround myself with.

That is what seems to be the problem - all everyone wants to do is go to parties to drink and meet guys. I have no need to do either, therefore I always pass on going to a party. This has caused me to have no friends. Every weekend I sit alone in my room watching Grey's Anatomy and knitting, yes knitting. While this is fine, we all need alone time, for me, it is literally every Friday and Saturday night. I cannot seem to find anyone that just wants to order pizza and watch movies all night.

While I am surrounded by so many people, I cannot seem to fit with anyone. Even the girls who I thought were similar to me still just want to party, and that's not me. Even the girls who don't drink like me, have started drinking. Even if I do make a friend they end up being pushy and always beg me to go to parties. I guess I'll just have to wait it out and see if I meet anyone this next semester.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
