It sounds like you're going to miss out on "The College Experience". Maybe something's wrong with your environment or are you the same at home?

Yeah, I understand, and I try, but it never seems to quite work. I've been almost dragged out of the room by my brother's girlfriend to get me out to some party on campus...Then when I get there...it was not really fun, at all. I just end up talking to her or my brother and feeling like an outsider when everyone else is around. I think coming in mid-way through the semester was rough last year. I never quite made my out of being the kid without a class. I never had an orientation to meet people or anything, I just sorta got thrust into it all. Keep in mind, this is a VERY small school, we only have 700 kids here, so you either make it in one of the smaller cliques or you don't. It was that same way in high school, but at least then I could go home and spend time with my very best friends who I've known all my life. Anyway, I think that's why I spend time in my room. Room = closet thing to a "home" you have on a campus...But it's obviously not the same without family + friends. I dunno, I'm just a weirdo, I'll work it out somehow and be alright.
