I’m bummed. School started great with nice people and a person who wanted to be my roommate. There was one girl that got under everyone’s skin and I tried to stay out of it but did agree with people. Now, everyone is friends with that girl; yeah, the one they were all talking about all of the time and none of them will talk to me. My roommate and I don’t speak and it is really uncomfortable. I’m quiet and I know I’m not the person who gets the party started. I don’t like to start trouble and don’t know how to handle this. We got along really well; maybe too good to be true. Now, I’m blown off all the time; people who were my friends visit her and don’t talk to me. I’m hundreds of miles from home and don’t want to be a wimp but Im feeling pretty down. I eat with people but spend most of my time alone in my room. Help and advice would be so appreciated from all of you who are better at this than me. I was told by everyone that college would be nothing like high school but I feel as though I’m living at my high school.
