Hey okay so this isn't a relationship problem persay more of just asking for advice in general. So I am away at college its my freshman year the college im attending is 14 hours away from home I know its only the second week and I need to give it time and try to be more outgoing. but my issue is that im not fitting in the people I have been hanging out with seem to always be trying to discourage me from hanging out with them or they exclude me entirly. i have been thinking the past couple of days that i could have done the exact same thing closer to home and been able to start a life for my self while goin to college. I have been wondering is this normal have other people not wanted the full college "experience" even when they have the chance to have it? If i was closer to home i could be liveing on my own with the man i love and do my own thing while getting a degree so im just asking for advice in general please help if you can thank you.

Stick with this! Change the group your hanging with... you've been there 2 weeks... you're not married to these people. It may take seveal months to find folks that you are comfortalbe with... keep looking and enjoy college! It's a great time in your life, and if it's NOT keep working it until it is!

I am starting in my third year. I lived with my now ex while going to school and I prefer to go to class and leave as soon as class is over. I haven't made friends with anyone on campus and I prefer it that way. I am happy with my life without needing to go to social events and parties and meet new people. As far as the people you are trying to be friends with let them go its there loss not yours. I think having a life away from college is very important so that when college stress you out and it will you have some place to go that doesn't remind you of school. If you can get the same education closer to home then after this quarter (semester) switch schools.
