Hey guys, I’m an international student in the US and I’m currently living with 4 people . It’s a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom arrangement, and all of the other 3 are shifting to other off campus location.
I’ve not been able to bond with them that much since I usually used to take demanding courses and spend a lot of time on research. I’ve a limited group of 6-7 friends but they have their housing sorted out since the walkout is mostly in my apartment. I’m so damn frustrated and sad that I’ve not been able to be with a lot of people all due to being busy. Moreover, I do believe I judge people a lot cause having parties and getting wasted I don’t want anyone like that near me. I’ve it all sorted 2 summer internships each for 2 months (I’ve a 4 month summer break). I had to prep so much for interviews and apply to countless places and network so hard .
Most of the time I’m in my room and I usually prefer silence . Of the other 3, one is moving to SF for summer internship and the other two waste their time a lot and have nothing lined up for the summer. They 3 form a good group (2 people knew each other from India) and I usually kept to myself.
Now I’m messed up since I don’t have anywhere to go. I’m tired and exhausted of the process of keeping relationships as well as it is demanding here and it’s all a party and fun crowd. I’ll be proceeding to second year of masters and I’ve no clue what to do and where to go. Any advise is welcome, on what to do how to proceed.
My parents are also concerned that their child stays in their room and is all into acads and career. They want me to have good friends for life but unfortunately this has not been the case with me here.
Back in india , I had close school friends, close friends in 11th 12th , college and even job. Here it’s damn frustrating and lonely. Sometimes I feel I just need a hug or someone to vent out the things to but I don’t have anyone.
These folks used to completely ignore me in the past 1 year they used to throw parties in the house and not even invite me. I used to be in the room and feel a lot excluded. They even used to do potluck and interesting things but did not involve me. They are spending daddy’s money I feel as well. I don’t wanna move out all my furniture and stuff and I’ve no support system. I call my parents twice a day cause there is no one to talk to most of the times.
I sure do have a group but the housing is the crisis which I need to solve now.
This is a very popular Uni on East Coast.
