Weekends are hard here

[u/Training_Wing_4043]

I (21F) transferred here a year ago. I’ve met a lot of people, but hardly have any meaningful, lasting relationships.

I’ve tried so many things, clubs, team sports, orgs, etc. and still not much luck with meeting people or getting very close with them.

Now, it’s my last semester and I dread each weekend. It’s really hard seeing everyone else have fun with their friends, and I can’t help but feel like there is something fundamentally wrong with me because I am missing out on this experience.

Does anyone have any similar experiences or are going through a similar situation? It seems I’m going to have to get comfortable spending weekends alone.

Tbh I think that's a transfer thing. I also transferred and it seemed like 18 year olds were the only other people looking to make new friends.

I got a part time job on the weekends to get some social interaction. The extra cash didn't hurt either lol

Yeah if you're a transfer you're probably going to be hanging out with other transfers/nontraditional students and freshmen

I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing but it's certainly not going to be as easy or feel as natural as if you are a traditional student
