College
11 years ago
Hiya, I've ranted about this everywhere except here, so it's time.
College is poop. My dad made me live in the dorms even though I am 20 minutes away (with no traffic) from my college and lemme tell you... I hate the dorms. It's horrible being away from my old friends and being trapped here all the time. I don't really feel comfortable here. I honestly feel trapped. I wish I could have commuted.
I told my mom that I hate it and she told me I can commute next semester... of course I have to wait 3 months until the semester is over...
I told my dad and he told me "just make some friends" and this honestly upset me. He thinks that since he enjoyed living on campus that EVERYONE will enjoy it. But I don't. I'm anxious 24/7 because everywhere I go, it's a social situation. I can't even lay in bed without being forced to socialize and it honestly gives me so much anxiety. I'm never alone. I'M NEVER FUCKING ALONE. Yet I feel so alone.
A lot of people I've ranted to this about don't get it. They just tell me to be more social, but I honestly can't. It's so hard for me to make friends. Nobody understands.
I want to commute to college. I don't like having my entire life be college. I don't like being trapped at college. It's not even easy for me to leave because my car is a 45 minute walk from my dorm and the buses are a nightmare. This was a mistake. It was all a mistake.
On the bright side, I like my classes. I like everything about college except for living in a dorm. If I was living off-campus, I would love college!

Man, if you wanna hang out sometime, just say the word. I know it sucks, but you can do it! I swear.

Honestly, I know it's not easy. I don't know how open you are regarding the furry fandom, but I had hated having to hide who I was because of my roommates on both dorms and student apartments. There's not much to do on campus so being "more social" isn't an option. The nearest furs were an hour from me and that required quite the gas money I didn't have. I'm kinda glad someone knows the pain! Anywho, before I rant along with your rant, I wanted to tell you that dorm life breezed by. It's going to seem like forever, and it's gonna be a bit annoying, but you can do it. We, the furry community, will always be here to listen if you ever need someone, especially since I know you can feel alone and deserted sometimes. *hugs* Try your best and once you're free, you'll be even happier! Good luck!
