College Sophomore With No Friends

Hey everyone,

I am a sophomore in college, and it is the beginning of the second semester. I am getting very discouraged because I don’t have any close friends. It’s nearly halfway through my college career and I have yet to make a best friend, or any group of friends. I had awesome friends in high school, and remain close to them, but I chose to go to college 2 hours away from home.

I’m already involved in many things on campus, but I still don’t have a any close friends. I’m in the marching band, concert band, I’m in a band fraternity, I work in a residence hall, and I still live in a residence hall. I honestly try to put myself out here to get to know different people by asking them to dinner or lunch, I talk to people at work, and chat with people on my floor. I guess I have many acquaintances but nothing seems to click. I don’t understand why this is happening to me because I’m a fun, cool, and interesting girl to talk to and hang out with.

I’ve spent lots of time crying to my mom on the phone, and this isn’t the way I want to spend my whole college career. Will someone please give me some advice, or hope if you’ve been in a similar situation?

Thanks
