 need advice
Hi I'm new here and I could use some advice.
I'm in my first year of college and I have never been more unhappy. I have a terrible roommate who is content with playing video games and watching tv all day long- literally. He plays till 4 AM, never does hw, and doesn't leave the room. He doesn't have any friends and doesn't ever go out but it doesn't bother him (he's said so). I can't live like that, but sadly I kind of do. I only have a few friends from high school that I hang out with once in awhile, but I want to meet new people. I wanted to switch dorms so maybe I could get some more opportunities to meet people but it is too late to do that now. So I'm stuck here with my no-help-of-a-roommate for the rest of the year. I really want to be friends with some people on my hall but I don't know how. It sounds sad but I don't know what to say when I go in their rooms to talk to them. I end up leaving in less than a minute. Weekends are the worst. When everyone is out at parties having fun I'm inside the dorm room sitting on the computer. I'm really lonely and it sucks. I know I'm just complaining and I know we are in control of how we live our lives but I really don't know what to do anymore. Any advice would be great.  |
