Not knowing anyone in college.

It’s your third day! That’s FINE! Give it a few weeks. At my orientation session I noticed a lot of people grouping together and felt really left out, but then as it turns out once orientation ended most of them made friends elsewhere and never talked to those kids again anyway. You will eat in the cafeteria alone a lot, most everyone does. Everyone has different schedules, and chances are once classes start you won’t be taking your meals at the same time anymore either. This is a chance for you to practice being independent-- in college you DO go do things by yourself a lot, it’s not like high school where you can be joined at the hip with a buddy wherever you go. You will make friends and hang out with them often and have a great time, but it won’t happen overnight, and you are likely going to have to adjust to being more independent than you are used to. That’s totally normal.
