I’ve been in college for about a month now, and it feels pretty weird. I do have some friends in class, but once lectures end, they go back to their own groups, and I’m left alone.
The hostel situation is worse. My roommate doesn’t care about making friends at all—he just watches Netflix all day, never goes out, and hardly talks. The neighbors aren’t my type either, so I don’t know how to connect with anyone here.
Most evenings, I end up stuck in my room scrolling or studying, and it’s starting to feel really lonely. I thought hostel life would be fun and social, but so far, it’s the opposite.
Should I try harder to make hostel friends, hang out with my class friends outside class, or just wait it out and hope things get better?
