I’m going into my last year of college and I kinda felt like I did college wrong. Like, my grades are good but everything else about college I failed at. Like socially and stuff, after 4 years I barely know anybody. I commuted(to avoid debt, and did so successfully) so maybe that’s part of my problem.
But I feel college was supposed to be special time in your life and to me it has been indifferent. :/Thoughts?
For me the best part about college was a (game development) club I was heavily involved in. I met a lot of good people and had good experiences. I still speak with some of the people from that and do some activities with them. This is not exclusively a college experience though. You can do this later, whether that’s with coworkers or other people. There are tools out there to find people with similar interests, for example D&D is a good one.
College forces you to interact with people with similar experiences and interests, which is why it’s conducive to this, but it isn’t the only place it happens. You’ll be fine regardless. It sounds like you just need to get past the stage of meeting new people, which is the hardest part.
