I second the suggestions to visit the counseling center at your school. D2 is on the shy side and is fearful of change and new situations. She likes her school her a lot and still struggled to get settled in during her freshman year. She got along with her roommate, but they were not close friends and did not socialize together.

After much prodding, she agreed to go to the school’s counseling center after 2 anxiety filled weeks at her school and found it to be very helpful,

She also joined several clubs, and the students she met in those clubs quickly became her friends, largely because they had something in common(the club activities), and one of those friends is her roommate this year. Service activities are a great way to meet people you have something in common with and you will be occupied with the volunteer activities, hopefully something positive that you enjoy.

Anxiety can turn into depression, and perhaps you hoped that attending a CA school would turn you into a different person, because you were already experiencing some anxiety/depression issues and simply didn’t understand what was happening.

Please reach out for counseling help at your current school and hopefully things will improve As far as your dream of being in California, you could always consider a CA graduate school program or look for employment there after graduation. My younger sister had the dream of going to school in CA, but it was not possible financially for her, so she attended our NE state u and moved to CA fight after graduation. She is still very happy out in CA 30 years later.
