Redemption arc

Wrapping up my freshman year. I live at a pretty antisocial dorm and I’m going to be here again for my sophomore year. I don’t want the place I am at to be an excuse as to why I don’t have friends.

I was able to make ONE good friend this year and I’m grateful for that but they are an upperclassman. I’ve noticed I really struggle to connect with the people my age. I unfortunately get judgy and intolerant of certain behavior. I like to have fun but I really don’t care for immaturity, groupies, inauthenticy etc. Not saying I am devoid of such traits but I just prefer to not be around that and it definitely limits me socially.

I really put myself out there first semester. I joined every club that interested me and I had the time to feel them all out. I’ve narrowed them down to a few that i’m committed to and I have a some new clubs I hope to join next semester.

I’m wondering what I can do for this upcoming semester to really put myself out of my comfort zone. Usually in the beginning of the year I try to be as extroverted as possible but then that gets draining and dies out eventually. In classes I’ll try to chat or get to know peers. I love talking with strangers but I’m not fond of doing it anymore. I’ve noticed in class most people rather just be on their phones or they already have their people so I have stopped. I also reached out to people on my floor asking if they wanted to grab a coffee and those hangouts went well but I don’t think they cared to be friends with me.

I don’t want a big friend group but I do hope to have a decent social life. I know there are so many cool and brilliant people on this campus and I feel like im doing a disservice to myself by being content in solitude.

Any advice will do!

Hey! Currently a first year in university. I plan to major in neurocience as I love learning about the brain. People keep asking me what I am going to do with my major. I know I do not like working in the lab and I do not want to be a doctor. I know I can do physican assitant or nursing but I feel I would only pursue those things just because they are looked upon as "credible" jobs that give stable income.

I think you can only give others what you have. I am for some reaosn blessed and privledged to attend a very good univeristy. I have access to many resources and amazing mentors. I want to direct all of my kowledge and privledge into bettering communities and people around the world.

The thing I appreciate the most is culture and there are so many places I want to travel to. I loved volunteering in my community whenever I have the oppportunity. I especially like working with kids or the elderly.

Considering all of this I am wondering what career path aligns with these values. I do not want to drop neuroscience as it is the most interesting subject. and it has really helped me understand the world around me but should I be double majoring or minoring in public health or education?

P.s : A very shallow vent from me

So it’s been happening recently where I like a instagram post of something and then I’ll later receive a follow from a random guy. They aren’t bots mostly they are guys who went to the same event of the post I liked or etc. I’m very picky and I’ve removed a few I had decided to add as my account is private. There was this one guy though who added me recently and I thought he was cute so I confirmed and followed him back.

He had a decent amount of girls as friends and I have like no guys on my instagram. I think that’s why my insta is a bit different as I’m a bit more creative and not posting with dudes in mind. Anyways he had a story but I never watched it but he did watch my two stories and didnt like them which was like ok you’re a lurker. Maybe he didn’t vibe with my profile or thought it was awkward neither of us texted each other for the two days we had each other added. I WAS NOT planning to reach out as he was the one added who added me?

My following went down and it seems like he unfollowed me and me only. I’m pretty annoyed as it is my fault that I let a random in and they got to judge and then leave. I don’t know im not very good with dating or guys so I’d love to get advice on that. Im pretty embarrassed as for me this was a step to letting guys who have interest in me in as I’m very avoidant but this was humbling.

For housing as a second year should I go be leaning towards hub or Blackwell. Anyone have any experience living in the Hub?
