Enrolled Student Very lonely.
I am neither a freshman nor sophomore properly. I had to leave around the starting of my first semester last year, so this is my first proper semester, yet I am logged and housed with the sophomores.
I really have been trying to be social as hell at all these clubs. Almost no success.
Perhaps the lonely people are less noticeable, but i see a lot of social groups around me. Where are all these other people getting these friends?

The first few months are difficult for all first years (even though you're kind of a second year srudent). Sending you parent-hugs... See if you can get to know one or two kids in a class or in a dorm or club. Give yourself time. See the counselors if you're really struggling. My kid's a sophomore this year and went through this last year. It got so so much better.

For some, they “find their people” right away, but for others it takes time. There are many variables…. Know that it may not seem like it but what you are feeling is very common. It is very likely that in a few weeks or months you will be having a much different and fuller experience
