NTers, how was your college year?

[mitsui]

My freshman year is about to end, and I realized that I am slowly becoming an introvert. I was the dude in high school though, but the transition has been tough.

I feel like I didn't get the most out of my first year. I knew a few guys who lived on campus, but I never really partied with them. I probably made about 10 friends this year. In class, I'd always be that chill, quiet guy who'd walk in and sit at the end of the lecture hall/classroom. I have grown accustomed to this life, but damn, it was so different back in high school.

As the year went on, I found myself becoming more and more lazy. Subconsciously, I used school as an excuse.

Is college really just going to be like this? What can I do to make the most out of it in the future?

Also, how was your college year been?

This described me pretty well too. But I feel like I'm not making the most out of college still.

Honstely, I've never had this much fun

Member of a student union board, made dozens of friends, partied my +%$ of and still doing pretty well in school. Life's good.

Can't believe the freshman year is almost over

I went to trade school, so is college more about making friends that you can party with, or friends that you can make connections with for future employment

This thread and the "lack of motivation" thread merged in my head and I was about to be like "damn, your social life is rocky AND you have a 2.0 AND only 2 classes AND you're broke? I genuinely feel for you"

But yeah, I feel the same way, I go to a commuter school and chose to live in my apartment instead of at the dorms and I kind of regret it. I've made a bunch of friends, but none that I actually feel a real attachment to, so they feel like superficial friendships rather than "yeah I could let you hang out at my house and not get bored of you" which is how i feel about my other friends.
I don't know if there's much I can do about it though, it just doesn't seem like there's anyone in my (gigantic) school that I want to be friends with, there's nothing really wrong with that. It's just weird

As long as your GPA is good, then you shouldn't be concerned about anything else. Don't forget what you're in college for in the first place.

I've lost all motivation to go to class and do well this semester. I just failed my midterm and have nobody to blame but myself.

I'll be feeling like crap soon

Switch my major from Business with a concentration in Marketing to Mass Communications with a concentration in Creative Advertising.

I could have done better.


BUT, it was the best year in basketball for my school!

First Four to the Final Four.
