Poo on the U !!
I am so disappointed with my college experience thus far at the U of M. I have been going here for three years now and one would think that I would have a great new set of cool and interesting friends to hang out with, but I don’t. I still hang around people I went to High School with. Why is that??
I would like to think that I am a fun person to hang out with, the people that I currently hang out with must think so otherwise they would not give me the time of day.
A lot of students that go to this school commute, so perhaps an argument could be that I have no close friends here because I do not live anywhere near campus… Well if that were true then there would be hundreds of people going to this school in the same situation, and I am sure there are. However, everywhere I look there seems to be people hanging out together, and there I am sitting in Coffman Union trying to get some sleep.
I decided this year to join a club in the hopes that I would get to know some people and become better friends with them. Well so far the club has met twice, today will be the third meeting and I really don’t see any long lasting friendships being created there.
By writing this I am not trying to get people to feel sorry with me and thus invite me to hang out. Trust me I would rather spend the rest of time at the U alone then accept a pity invite.
I hate my parents for limiting my college experience simply because my sister was born first and went to the University of North Dakota, a by far cheaper college. When I went off to college the deal was that they would pay for three years of college at the same cost of my sisters school. Well thank god they gave me bit of leeway on that rule because that would not have even covered my tuition the first three years. Because the limited me I was not able to experience life in the dorms. Yes I know I have heard it sucks, but that would have been a great experience, and from that I would have met friends that, who knows I could be sharing a house or apartment with as we speak.
My classes this semester are certainly not helping matters, I would have withdrawn from these classes but they are required for my major, so if I didn’t take them now I would have to later.
I am not happy at this school anymore, and that makes it extremely difficult to get up in the morning and drag my ass in here. However I only have a year and a half left so I might as well just put up with it. Maybe next year I will take out more student loans and get a one bedroom apartment somewhere around the area.
