College

[Xeraxis]

Recently, I have began college. So far, it's been fun with all the activities that have been going on over the days. However, I've become angst with some of the people here. I have a good few friends I hang out with almost daily, but there are some here that seem to be friends with almost everybody, as if they knew them as soon as move-in day rolled around or even before that.

Also, I'm not trying to sound like a spineless person, but no girl whatsoever has given any slightest interest in me, even when I try talk to many of them, but I see constantly groups of 5-7 people, consisting of only 1 guy and (insert number here) girls, basically all over him, which shouldn't piss me off, but it does.

So fellow escapists, I ask you. How was it with you in college? Could you help give some pointers on things I should be aware of over time?

I worked 90-110 hour weeks for 5 years in a faculty that had a 33% graduate rate and a long history of stress induced suicides due to it's difficulty along with a 8:1 male to female ratio. I made good friends, we all got jobs and a lot of us dissapated all over the place now I'm lonley, depressed and working a shit job that I don't feel befits the weight of my degree.

My advice is to realize things could be worse. I had the benefit that in my program friendship was forged out of comradary. We were all against a massive onslaught of work and we all needed eachother to stay afloat. It formed strong bonds.

IMO, if you have the time, you could always join a club of sorts. You'll meet a lot of likeminded people.

I just finished my 4 year degree and frankly I didn't really care about getting in a relationship. College is for education. If you want to get a girl, go to a social setting where you think there will be girls with similar interests as you.
