I feel exactly 100% like you right now, but 100x worst because I commute. It sucks BALLS. High School for me at least was amazing when I looked back at it, but I didn’t realize until my first day of college had started, and apparently there was a reason my mother kept telling me to enjoy high school while it lasts. I had an amazing group of friends throughout the years that came out of know where; and now before you know it, we all went our separate ways.

One of the worst feelings I have now, besides loneliness, is the fact that I cannot connect with anybody when I’m at my university. It’s just small talk for 5 minutes leading to nowhere and I would never see that person/group again.

Here goes my terrible advice: stop being so desperate. Go to college to learn. Then hope/pray that everything else follows. I’m trying to find a job so I can just forget all of this and at the same time, to keep myself busy. I think that will work.
