I'm lonley. I am in college part time taking a course expressive wriitng, It's cheap and it goes till April. Every Tuesday nights and plus I sined up for ball hockey mon, tus and thurs from 3-4 pm. I went to that game last week and it wasn't so good. I kept screwing up, blocking my own team members and everytime I shot at the ball it wouldn't go hard enough even close to the net to score on my team. I played before in gr 7 and 8 but I dunno. It was different easier I guess and maybe I haven't played for a while and just need to get into it again. I joined with the hopes that I'd meet some ppl too and make friends. The ppl in the gym are ok, I dunno, there mostly guys and there just ppl I'd say hi and bye to, not ppl who I'd want to consider friends. In my expressive writing class everyone looks older than me and ya. I'm 22 and I should be having fun. I jsut turned 22 by the way Jan 18. I have my b/f and got money but I'm still not happy. I had alot of friends and aquaitences in high school but everyone split up even before I left high school and I have no idea where everyone's whereabouts are.   I just want to make friends. I'm in toronto, canada. Is there anyone here thats in my city? And who goes to george brown college St. James campus? I'd do a full time program but there's no need for me to at the moment as I have money. Is there anyone here who is doing a part time program at college and has made friends? If so how and where? I dunno. I'd like some pointers. It's just now is the time for me to be going out and havin fun. I only have my b/f basicly and I know that when I get to be in my mid twenties and late twenties there won't be alot of time for hanging out and having fun. Now is the time for me to do that. My sister's doing a ful ltime program in Uni, plus she has friends from high school. I don't really have alot cuse I was always hanging out with me b/f at the time. I never gave friends a second thought. I sorta screwed up. Can I have advice? How can I make friends doing a part time program in college? I was volunteering at adaycare but stopped cause the stafs are friendly, but older than me and they got kids and stuff to do. And anyways I stopped enjoying it. I like working with kids though. I'm gonna try volunteering at a hospital but I dunno how thats gonna go. I just wish I could meet some ppl and make atleast 2 good friends.

SimplisticComplexity Posted at 8:21 am on Jan. 24, 2007 Ok, so you say that you had a lot of friends and acquaintances in high school, but they all split up after graduation.  That's naturally going to happen, but by any chance, do you have a myspace?  I have one, and I use it primarily to locate and keep in touch with people I have graduated with.  It's just an idea, but you can search for people who went to high school and graduated the year you did, and you'll probably find some people that you knew.   As for making new friends at college, are there any activities or clubs that might interest you there?  I looked at your college's website, and it looked to me like it didn't have much.  But perhaps you can find something.  If not, maybe you could consider transferring to a different college, one that would be more fun, yet has the program you're in.  If you don't want to do that, perhaps you can ask the guys in the gym if they have any friends that you'd be interested in meeting.  I can see how difficult this situation must be for you.  If none of those ideas work out, you could always volunteer somewhere outside of the college and see what happens.  If I think of anything more, I'll add. lilac Posted at 12:25 pm on Jan. 21, 2007 I'm not comfortable at bars. MusicTrivium Posted at 11:12 am on Jan. 21, 2007 ..  I would love to hang out if I lived in Canada myself, but I'm a bit far away from you.  :P All I can really do is give you advice.  Maybe you should spend less time with the boyfriend, but enough that he wouldn't feel neglected.  That or you and him should go out to the bars.  There's almost always someone you're going to run into from class or just about anyone from highschool.  That's usually how it goes. From there?  Well..  You'll figure it out. All 5 previous replies displayed.
