Big hugs to you. It IS hard. You are normal. Time will tell whether you need to transfer, but give it your best shot this semester.
Is your school very small? Small colleges can be wonderful, but they can be more difficult if the dominent culture is not a good fit for you because it’s harder to find a critical mass of compatible people. However, even finding a small handful of people you like can make all the difference.
The most immediate advice I can give you at this uncomfortable in-between moment is: make SURE you’re getting some heart-pumping exercise every day (and eating healthy food) even if you’re not the athletic type. Even if it’s the last thing you want to do. Even if you’re sure you don’t enjoy exercise while you’re doing it. Because really, there’s almost nothing so immediately effective at giving your mood a boost. Exercise makes your body release feel-good endorphins and lowers anxiety-producing toxic cortisol. Maybe it doesn’t directly give you new friends, but it can make the lonely feelings less painful, give you a happy, cleaned out feeling, more complete within yourself. And that gives you a more confident and positive vibe, and THAT can attract the right people to you. Plus, you can get to know people who have that common activity, whether it’s working out on machines, swimming, running, bicycling, playing frisby, or taking very brisk walks.
Good luck to you!
