I'm a freshman and I know I have to give college more time. I enjoy college, I love my friends, but at the same time I don't enjoy college... I feel like this isn't where I belong...? I don't understand why I keep on getting this feeling it's a mixture of thoughts and I think part of it is well some people will make fun of me for saying this on here I'm sure... but I feel like I'm losing my touch w/ god here and I'm growing further apart. I feel like college is making me worse of a person... And also I feel like being at a state school and all I'll never find a good christian guy. And idk if this is the full reason and looking for a guy isn't a good thing to base it off of. Although I know there are other things bothering me about school too. I can't really explain it? I feel like I should be at a christian college or something I'm not sure if this is where I belong...

Replies starrynight401 Posted at 6:05 pm on Oct. 16, 2006 I can't tell if God wants me somewhere else or not..? It's so hard for me to tell. I feel like I'm losing touch and I really do need to go to some sort of bible study group, but it always seems that I have something to do... but why do I think that I mean studying the bible is just as important. I dont' want to lose touch. I started swearing too and I shouldn't. Idk how to explain myself fully there's a lot more that I'm feeling. Longy56 Posted at 7:37 am on Oct. 16, 2006 I had that same feeling as a freshman.  I didn't make friends too quickly, I felt I didn't belong, and I felt there weren't many Christians or that the Christians on campus were hypocritical.  Just don't give up.  God gives us trying times to show how strong our faith is and how we listen to him.  Maybe he is telling you something, or maybe he is just letting you know the situation.  I don't know becuase I am not you, but what I do know is that at a state school there are kids going through the same thing, but they also aren't being heard because of the atmosphere. If you feel out of touch with God, then find a group or find a way to get back in touch.  I regretably should take my own advice, but its also hard balancing all of that work and other activities.  If you need to talk about anything you can always message me.  Sometimes its good to have another friend who is going through the same thing. TJHat16 Posted at 10:24 pm on Oct. 15, 2006 hey, dont give up.  college can be a hard time since its a new experience and you are a freshmen.  i am a sophomore in college myself but this is my first year living on campus and i feel the same way sometimes.  i can suggest maybe trying to read the bible....it may seem hard at times but it can help.  and also get involved with the christan organizations on campus.  I am with one now called Campus Crusade for Christ and i like it alot.   I am a good christian guy myself so they do exist.....just dont give up.  if you need to talk to someone you can message me anytime.  good luck!
