Trying my best not to procrastinate on papers. So far Ive been doing well (been living off of about $20 a week without a meal plan), but im really not even having fun anymore. My dorm looks like a jail cell. My roommate doesnt keep our do locked so im not comfortable leaving things out (no more xbox or tv). I dont really have any close friends to go do anything, I come home every weekend and im short with my parents. Im just feeling burned out.

IrishBrass Posted at 2:15 pm on Oct. 5, 2008 I know exactly what you mean, over the past year in college I've only met 2 people who I would consider actual friends. I live in a 1 room apartment and it definitely does feel like a jail cell, there is so much to do out there but when you're by yourself its hard to go out and have fun. 7hir7een Posted at 8:11 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 Have a talk with your roommate about locking the door.  Stop going home so often.  Doing so puts me in a major slump.  Talk to some more people...  Become friends with your classmates, talk to people from back, home, etc.   sicosys Posted at 8:10 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 wow that sounds just like me... on thebuirnt out part. i dont have a dorm tho i live at home... it sucks luv4you Posted at 8:04 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 Sounds like you need a change... First of all, tell your roommate to grow up and lock the door. That's not even safe and that's stupid to have to feel insecure all the time. Get friends... people you study with, friends at home, etc. Try dating a bit.. Do things when you aren't studying-rent a movie now and then, eat different things, talk to different people, and get time some alone time. Try to make your relationship with your parents stronger.. Keep studying and keep your grades up, it'll definitely be worth it! Skip Posted at 8:01 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 leave the studying for a bit then or at least try to be more sociable while still keeping ur academic composure All 6 previous replies displayed.
