What the fuck are you me? I got back from my orientation yesterday and I had almost the same exact experience. The orientation activity people even had a dance party thing that lasted until 11. I just sat in a chair for the whole time browsing /r9k/ on my phone. I was hounded by the activity people so many times during the orientation because I was always sitting alone when we were eating or doing other activities. How hard is it for normies to fucking realize that if someone is sitting by themselves they most likely want to be left alone?
why did you even stay at the party for more than half an hour when it went to shit?
>>29476462
hey man hows it going lol xd
This has been my college experience so far;
>take bus in
>attend lectures
>sit at an isolated bench I found and eat a sandwich
>attend more lectures
>go home without speaking to anyone
>sleep until next day
>repeat
I need to kill myself.
>>29477181
It can't be that bad. Did you at least craft your schedule to include a nice break so you can play video games or shitpost on /r9k/?
>>29476462
what a fucking joke college has become
YOU ARE THERE TO LEARN RIGOROUS SHIT
NOT EXPLORE YOUR SOCIAL LIFE YOU FUCKING IDIOT
>>29477245
I usually sleep through most of the day so I mostly shitpost in the early morning. Alternatively, I just don't sleep.
>>29476489
Yeah cool thing about college is you'll bump into someone on the same wavelength as you eventually
>>29476462
Lol, I dropped out out of college, but I went to two different orientation weeks and there was no Cha Cha Slide and they had lame supervised parties but there was other stuff to go to and the first week was the best part because everyone was young, smart, and uninhibited so we did all the shit we wanted to do but couldn't do at home.
>>29477245
Oh but it is. It's horrible. You don't notice a it at first, but eventually it drives you up the wall.
>>29476567
Why would you go to the orientation day and party in the first place if you want to be left alone?
>>29477744
>full house digits
>Getting to go to Uni
>Having the opportunity for freedom and to live away from controlling parents with other people your age
No no, keep telling me how bad you have it
>>29476567
they thought you were shy not browsing r9k
>>29477314
wrong its all about socializing and meeting the right people not learning it has been like this for ages
>>29476462
>tfw I got lucky and met a group of acquaintances in my program by pure chance
Probably would have offed myself if I hadn't met them desu
>Go to a small college with less than a hundred students
>Don't know anyone at all since it's far outside my home town
>Meet a girl on the first day, we play pool and talk to one another
>Hang out several more times, going on walks and stuff
>Eventually we start dating
>Hang out with one another in almost every free moment
>Eventually we live in an apartment together in our second year and third year
>Never talk to anyone else, male or female.
>Girlfriend breaks up with me this summer
>Starting summer school tomorrow and have no friends at all
>Can't even talk to her because she blocked my phone and social media
>Write letters to her all day so that it feels like she isn't really gone, or that she'll come back eventually
Haven't had the chance to meet anyone like myself in college yet. I thought I had something good going, but it turns sour pretty quick.

>Less than 100 students
That doesn't sound small, that sounds like a for profit degree mill my man

It's an extension of a larger university. Teachers came from the main campus out to the country to teach there.
>>29478182
Weird. Is it just in the middle of nowhere?
>at my orientation
>Get along well with ome dude
>Go to bed and find him in the morning

It used to be a boarding high school run by a monastery. Eventually there wasn't enough students, so they joined the greater university system and offered secondary education instead, without as much influence from the monks. Still, some of the monks taught classes to the students. My psychology professor was a monk.
>>29478105
I'm like that too, once I know a person, or a small group of people, I pretty much isolate myself from anyone else. Then when it ends I have nothing.
>>29477839
you an aussie?

>real life fell for the networking meme
;__;
>>29478280
What year are you posting from and how did you get a computer?
>>29478708
If you don't think networking is important you are an idiot
>>29478835
I clearly acknowledged that it is, retard, my post obviously implied I think it shouldn't be. I should be able to succeed based on my own talent and hard work, not other people's.
>tfw I waited a few years before going to college and now I have all these new social skills
Fuuck college is gonna be great. Can t fucking w8 to meet some qt hipster chicks.
