As I walk down the halls and corridors of my school, I fine myself not content. This is certainly not what I had in mind when i pictured college. I pictured spontaneity, studying, partying, and friends. I am constantly unhappy at school as well as work. I find myself complaining and school tends to be the center of most of my discussions.
I tend to give advise where it is unwanted, many of my friends in fact are not too pleased with your school and are in the same predicament as I, and i constantly seem to be giving positive advise. to "stick with it","try harder", and the such but not until yesterday did I realize,
I, Myself do not take my own advise.
If I am unhappy in my own surrounding, for example, school, i should give it more time, make some friends, and take all that my school has to offer, then make a choice.
However it seems my advise is easier said then done.
I find myself settling with things I am unhappy with.
If I am not happy then what am I? If not disgruntled then?
I find that I am in a DayDream, one that never appears to end. I feel as if I am disappearing, become more of a ghost, a shell of who I was.

Us commuters are overall displeased with college so far. Your reasons for discontent seem to reflect everyone else whom I have talked to. We all hoped to have a great time in college but honestly not liking the lifestyle so far.
I'm not sure what we should all do in this situation. You are a social being and if you had people to interact with at school I'm sure you would be so much happier. Who knew making friends would prove to be so challenging?
Perhaps it takes more time. Commuting doesn't allow for much time to bond with others. Especially if we are working. The ideal situation would be if we didn't need to work and had all the time in the world to dedicate ourselves to school, academically and socially. Due to the constraints of the pocket and our need to buy $80 metrocards with every other paycheck, this doesn't seem likely to happen soon.
Perhaps we are doomed to be loners in college, despite the fact we have awesome friends outside of it. Perhaps you should find an on campus job next semester. Allow yourself more time on campus.
Easier said than done. But it isn't impossible.
SOCIAL BEING!!!! ROFL
