Love help: I’m a freshman in college and I really love my school and my time here. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I’m a freshman in college and I really love my school and my time here.

Yet, I often find myself sad at the fact that I cannot be with my family, or the fact that i’m not longer a “kid”. I don’t want to leave my parents in the metaphorical sense of being their child. Also, I’m single, and I’m very ready to find the right guy.. but I haven’t found him. I figured I would after coming to such a large school. There are no hopefuls insight. How can I beat this bout of unhappiness?

the fact your missing your family is a good thing! surely! id rather feel lonely cos you miss your family than forget about them all together!!
when it comes to you feeling you need someone, go for it! i dont have the answers of where he might be, but it doesnt mean you cant look everywhere to find him! your clearly able and smart enough to be at school therefore youve got your whole life ahead of you!
and your unhappiness? i think its part of life! its waves and troughs! the worse you feel the better it’ll get! lol good luck!

Really I went through a similar problem at first. I wanted to try to find a guy but I’m at a college that has maybe 975 kids in all levels and I had a hard time being on my own away from my family. Just call your family often so you can assure them and they can assure you that they still love you and care about you. Also the guy thing join a club that intrests you or go to a cofee shop around campus. Just try doing sociable things and you’ll find a guy just don’t get too dishearted.

Ok, if you are a freshman, you’ve been there just about two months. Do you really think that’s a reasonable timetable for finding “the right guy”?

Enjoy your studies, and get to know all kinds of people—young, old, male, female. Sometime in, say, the next decade or two one of them will start appearing more and more “right.” Don’t try to force things.

As for growing up and being away from family, sigh, THAT part doesn’t get easier. You go through a painful transition and sense of loss every decade or so. It’s just part of life.
