<p>"Socially, it’s frustrating because Baits people tend to shut their doors so it’s hard to get to know them. My room mate also fell asleep for most of the day (jet lag probably) and when he’s awake we don’t usually talk much, because when we compared schedules he saw that I’m enrolled in Math 285 (Honors Calc III) and now he thinks I’m some kind of genius when I’m really not. I don’t want to see any of HS people yet (because I’ve seen them so much and I want to meet new people). In the dorm, it’s also hard to connect with people since you don’t have similar interests. I’m hoping that when classes and ECs start things will get better, but right now I’m just frustrated.</p>
<p>I’d like to meet new people. But I’ve always been socially awkward and eccentric, and I’m worried that this will get in the way of my social life again in college. (Though this is only the 2nd day) How do I do this and reach out to others???"</p>
<p>Come hang out with me! I had plans with my roommate today and she blew me off, and now she just plain hasn’t come back. I haven’t established too great of a connection with anyone yet because my room is on the end and even if the door is open no one can see I’m in here because my room is so huge, I have been here almost four days and I am getting a bit lonely! I’ve just made it a point to introduce myself to everyone I talk to, so I’ve met probably 5-10 people since I got here between asking for directions to the cafeteria and asking about dining hours and random crap. Everyone has been REALLY friendly so I am sure I’ll make friends, but I haven’t run into anybody more than once yet. I am planning to invite my neighbors over to watch a movie when I actually get a chance to be at home for a while. I am tempted to now but my roommate will likely be home any minute to go to bed and I don’t want to be rude, but who the eff knows. She apparently decided she isn’t remotely interested in me without getting to know me and I am a teensy bit bitter. XD</p>
