Missing out on future connections in college?
obviously will keep descriptions to a minimum for confidentiality, but damn do I sometimes regret moving out of state.
On full scholarship, and very grateful especially given my less fortunate background. Also very grateful to have a semi-brand name school on my resume which will open many doors.
But i sure as hell do not get along with people here. Let me explain by bullet points:
-
some people are wayyyy too liberal. Some of the minority kids here don't stop venting about how oppressed they are at this pre-dominately white institution (that they themselves chose to attend dear god).
-
most athletes here are standard douchebags/bros. Some teams are very problematic (even for today's political climate). nothing too much to be said here I just dont feel like doing coke or acid on the weekend with daddy's money lol
-
And on the topic of social life, there's not much out there for people who aren't overtly preppy, on a club/varsity sport, or sell joints and juul pods on the d-low.
-
All the nerds/more quiet one's I've run into are either complete morons(will literally make jokes about race and disabilities), insecure(more people than I can count have dropped MONEY on video games, clothes, shoes), or hermits( will literally just stay in their rooms every weekend to watch dramas).
I'm pretty reserved myself (frankly I dont care what people think of me), but I make an effort to go out and meet people and get sloshed or baked every now and then.
am I looking at this whole thing wrong? am I missing out on lifetime connections that are harder to come by later in life?
BTW: the guys on my floor are emotional lesbians. Will literally argue on the smallest thing just to be right, will fill any silence by making fun of someone, and are awkward as hell when I strike up any conversation with them not centered around sports, drinking, or some debatable topic.
