too attached to my parents

<p>i am too attached to my parents:( and i dont know how am i gonna do without them in college when ill go dorming!!!i am freaking out!!
idk what to do, but i dont like my current college…and i wanna transfer on spring…what should i do???</p>

<p>i am from immigrant family…
but i missed my whole high school life!!!
i didnt have any friends…cuz im always into studying!!
my parents kinda expect me too be perfect kid!!</p>

<p>It’ll be okay! Everyone has to move out sometime. :slight_smile: Think of it as moving out with a support system, and with potential friends all around you. Sure, you won’t make friends with everyone, but you WILL make friends if you get out there and talk to people. Check out the other threads for better advice on how to make friends! :)</p>

<p>im horribel in making friends!!!
few reasons:
1.im from a different culture
2.im much more mature…like for a 18 year old…
maybe cuz of the country transition… and that i didnt have help from my parents who does not speak english…</p>

<p>idk…but when i think about college dorms i have like american pie association…(which is not a good thing)</p>

<p>im not shy or anything…i know i look good…and i have girl that like me…but im “unexpirienced”
and i am afraid i will be like that in college…
and spend my 4 years alone…with no one to pass the time with</p>

<p>Being from a different culture means next to nothing in terms of making friends unless it means you can only eat foods that no one is familiar with/you can’t talk to the opposite gender due to cultural norms/some other highly restrictive and unlikely cultural difference. It’ll mostly be a problem only if you make it into one. Sure, you won’t make friends with everyone, but then again, there’s a lot of people you might not want to be friends with anyways. :p</p>

<p>…I’m sorry, but how you’re writing really hasn’t convinced me of your maturity, though I do believe in some ways you may be more mature – but then again, not everyone going into college is immature. Try not to see all of these other 18 year olds as giant children, but instead as confused people much like you. :)</p>

<p>And anything you see in movies is WRONG. It’s glorified, and it’s nothing at all like the real college experience. There’s a lot of studying, a lot of being bored, and only a little bit of what you see in the movies. What do you think college will be like, out of curiosity? :)</p>

<p>idk like groups of friends</p>

<p>can you tell me a little bout the college expirience?</p>

<p>Sure. If you want to do well in your classes, it’s a lot of being holed up studying alone, unless you’re motivated enough to form/join study groups. I’d recommend those, as it gets you talking to others and can help you study more thoroughly than you would alone. But don’t forget that your academic goals are the reason you’re here, so work hard!</p>

<p>Oftentimes you’ll make friends in the most unlikely places - you might keep bumping into the same people at various places around campus, end up chatting, and make a new friend. Keep an open mind, and don’t be afraid to comment on conversations with a bunch of people, especially those where people are complaining about something – misery loves company! :stuck_out_tongue: Usually friends will hang out and do a lot of nothing: going out to eat, walking around campus or downtown and chatting, watching movies or that at someone’s place. It’s usually not anything planned or fancy, so don’t stress about it, and if you try to organize anything, just ask if anyone wants to hang out and do something low key. :)</p>

<p>…I’m not too good at describing the experience in general. Is there anything specific you’d like to know about?</p>

<p>no u described it perfectly…thank u so much for your attention
realy appriciate it</p>
