college: not as great as the brochure

My freshman year at college, all I did was hang out at my boyfriend's school, with his friends, every weekend. We broke up my sophomore year and I started hanging out with friends of my own.

The problem is, they were all friends from freshman year. They all lived on the same floor and they're always talking about how freshman year was the best year ever and I'm the only one in the group who wasn't there.

I understand that there's nothing I can really do about this problem. I like hearing their stories from their first year, but it always comes with this overwhelming sense of regret that I missed it. The last time I was in a group from the beginning was middle school and I'm graduating from college soon.

I guess the college experience isn't going to be that fun for me. I've had a great time with my friends since I met them, but it seems always overshadowed by their freshman year and how much better it was. I just hope that I can find a group like theirs when I start work/graduate school and not feel incredibly left out.

But did you enjoy your first year with your boyfriend's friends? If you enjoyed yourself, then that's time well spent.

They should try to make this year as good as freshman year instead of reminiscing about it.

Yeah, I agree with that too. You should wait at least 80 years before reminiscing.

So you're saying that your entire college experience is going to suck just because you didn't do all the first-year stuff? That's pretty weak. There's still plenty of time to experience lots of stuff. Just stop moping about how your first year sucked and go do something.

It will get better. Next year all of you can reminisce about this year. So, don't let the regret from last year ruin this one for you.

Ah, sadly no. My boyfriend was kind of an asshole and I was pretty unhappy for most of that year. His friends were nice, but not really my crowd.

I'm not saying it's going to suck. I've had a pretty good time so far. I'm just saying I feel left out because THEY'RE always talking about how much it sucks compared to their freshman year.
