Anyone feeling lonely?

Just looking for people to chat with. Transferred schools this year and am having a little trouble readjusting. Trying not to fall into the gloomy pit.

Blurgh. Anyone want to share happy news? Or just chat? Help me kill time until class at 1:30, which I'm kind of considering not going to? :/

i felt lonely this weekend.   but you should go to class, what class is it?  i wish i was still in college.  sorry i don't have any happy news, i wish i had some for myself.

Philosophy 101. It's very interesting, only 1.5 hrs long, and I like my professor a lot. The gloomy pit kind of sucks all the motivation out of you, unfortunately. I'll probably end up going..

Sorry about the lack of happy news. I hope your week picks up.

Aw, I'm sorry you're lonely!  I know what you mean though - I moved to a new town in February, and I don't have too many friends there.  Mostly my sister, with whom I live.

Let's see, happy news... um... I crashed a high school reunion this weekend, and reconnected with some old friends a year younger than me!  That was fun!

Yeah, I transferred too. Stupid loneliness. I'm making friends, but it sucks feeling alone. I hope things improve for you. : )

Happy news....oh! I'm coming into money! (ie my sister is paying me back some she owes me). Not the happiest, but very good nonetheless because I didn't expect it so soon.

Oh yeah, and my dad paid me back for some wine I bought him, so that's good too!  Thanks for reminding me, icutoffmyhair :)

Purespark- I know how you feel. Since I don't have friends I end up spending most of my time with my family. They're wonderful, but they're actually starting to get concerned about my lack of social outlets..

Icutoffmyhair- Yeah, especially difficult is that I transferred from university to community college. Definitely a lot harder to meet people when nobody lives on campus and they all drive straight home after class. :(

Glad to hear the good news from both of you, though.

On another note: Gloominess is starting to affect my calorie intake, but not in the way I would expect. I'm having trouble getting over 1,000 daily. So odd, so frustrating. 

God, I really don't want to go to class.

I know what you mean - when I'm feeling down, I don't eat either.  Try foods with high calorie density... nuts, et cetera.

Go to class, though - you'll feel better if you do, especially since you like that class :)

I just composed an entire email to my professor apologizing for not being able to make it...and deleted it.

I will not skip class. I will not skip class. I will not skip class.

*hugs* Go!  You'll be glad you did!  And maybe take a walk, that helps me too.

Go to class, and go early. Then you can chat with any other people who showed up early. Ask them if they want to grab a bite to eat or coffee after class, or maybe form a study group if the professor has an exam coming up.

Also, at least if you go to class, you will have some homework or studying to help fill up time afterwards. I'm in my first year of college, but I'm going to a university. I hope things look up for you, hun!

I spent my first three weeks of university sitting by myself going "why won't anyone talk to me???" It felt like EVERYONE else already knew each other - from res (I lived off-campus) or high school (I was from far away).  I was really considering dropping out until I discovered ...

Student groups.  I hated student groups in high school because they were all pretty stupid but student groups in university ... they have EVERYTHING!  Marijuana Legalization Forums, Feed the Homeless groups, Anime Appreciation ... go, join up, make friends, have something to do ...

Good news: I made it to class! (And am now back, obviously.)

Also, treated myself to frozen yogurt before coming home. With brownie chunks. There's nothing like brownie chunks to take a day from really crappy to almost bearable. :) I'll probably be able to reach my calorie goal for today now!

Thanks, muttlover, for your advice. I have been trying to make friends with people in my classes, but there are just so many people to sort through. I just feel like all the people I try introducing myself to are indifferent, or they do ridiculous amounts of drugs, or they're just plain stupid. I'd like to be able to find friends that I can relate to, on some level. But yes, I am trying all those things. I guess it's just going to take time to find the right people. Either that or I need to lower my friend standards..

Hello!  I have nothing to do today so I've just been staying at home.  I feel so counter-productive!

I'm glad class was good. ^_^ Of course, brownie chunks will cheer anyone up!  I'm glad you enjoyed them.  I am here if you want to chat, although I don't have much to say. :)

Hello Okie, yeah I hate those days when I've got absolutely nothing to do. That's probably what today would have turned into if I hadn't gone to class.. 

I think brownie chunks may just be the solution to all the world's problems. :)

I'm a little lonely.  I'm working in the Regional Heart and Vascular centre tonight (as opposed to the main side of the hospital) and there's only one phlebotomist over here, so I'm all by myself.  And I'll be here by myself for a good twelve hours.  Well, I do have help coming in around four but by then I'll already be on the floor doing my morning draws and will hardly see the other person.

I was supposed to get to spend the afternoon with my husband and my family at my great uncle's viewing, but I was asked to come in early.  I paid my respects and headed in to work, apologising to my husband for not getting to go through with our plans.  He was going to take me to his father's grave for the first time since the funeral home we were at was a few blocks over.

Luckily I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday, and don't have to go in until third shift on Thursday, so I'll get to spend at least one full day with him. (:

Haha, yup.  I'm happy for you that you can enjoy the occasional brownie chunk-laden treat and not feel guilty about it.  Lately my mindset has been more like an anorexic than a normal teen, and I'm trying to get rid of it.  Ugh.

I've just been scrapbooking, reading, and doing homework.  Woo...hoo.

So, do you want to play some kind of a game?

Oh, and hello Moly. ^^ I think that's cool that you work in a heart and vascular center.  What do you do there?  Are you like a doctor? Haha, sorry for being so naïve/oblivious.

Oh, sounds rough.  I'm dong the same thing as you, but in reverse!  I'm completing community college this semester and moving 1500 miles away to university.  Yeah, CCs are different because everyone has their own agendas, and many work full time plus school, so don't usually just hang around the school.  I tend to have people in classes I am friendly with, yet not friends outside of class.  Sometimes I run into students from my previous semester in a later semester when they are taking another class with me.  When that happens it makes things a little less blah at the beginning of the semester, cause at least you know one person already.   Also, I am more outgoing than some, if someone is having a conversation before class/at breaks across tables I will chime in if I have something relevant to say.  Since everyone is just trying to get to know eachother all the same, nobody gets offended by this in the least.  The first few weeks are just blah in general - not knowing anyone - all classes just starting off slow with boring syllabus/easy work/general rules lectures.  It will get better as the semester goes on.

Yeah, I'm with ya. Last year was my freshman year at college, and I didn't make much friends, so at the beginning of this year I was pretty lonely. But I'm meeting more people at my new dorm, so things are looking up.

I'm going to be pretty anxious tomorrow: I get news of whether or not I got into an organization, and I'm trying out for a sports club. I'm already getting nervous.

Aren't you glad you went to your class? I always feel proud when I make myself go to a class I was considering skipping. And philosophy sounds interesting. 

I work at a hospital in Ohio.  It has a miniature hospital attached just for heart and vascular patients, and that's where I'm assigned to work tonight, so I do work all over the place.

I'm a phlebotomist, or as most people call me, "lab".  I roam around with my hefty tray stocked with colourful tubes and draw blood.  I don't handle any testing or anything, just blood drawing. 

I got a new joke tonight.  Instead of being called a vampire, someone told me to grab a pencil and sketchpad and to "have at it" when I said I needed to draw their blood.

 I like it!
