Wasted my years at uni...
I'm going into my third ( final year ) of uni, but I think i've wasted it! I didnt make much friends on my course.. only around 4 ( they did no like going out clubbing ect). I didn't go out clubbing that much.. Only like 5 times during my year so far at uni... the people who i went clubbing with were alright but i was just like a tag along!.. They didnt invite me that much to clubs ect! I live at home with my parents and the uni is just like 30 mins away!
Some people on my course dont like mee, they think i'm an easy target ect..
I just dont know what to do.. is it too late to make friends.. am i beeing the one who is not socilizingg with the people?

Why do they think you're an easy target, and what makes you get this impression? It could be paranoia on your part, because it doesn't sound like you've done anything for them to dislike you. But if they do, it really doesn't matter as some people just don't gel - equally there are plenty of people out there who will get on to, and match the type of person you are. Also, clubbing is hardly as great as it's made out to be. Most people get over it after freshers year, and even then it's not everyone's cup of tea. I wouldn't say you've missed out on uni life because of clubbing, although I'm probably biased as I've gone off it. Did you join societies etc. as that's always a good way to meet likeminded people, although that's a bit rich coming from me as I've not joined as many as I'd like. Most people would chat to you I'm sure if you're friendly - everyone likes a friendly person. Or you can meet mutual friends of your coursemates. However, as long as you got out at the end what you wanted - a degree - there's lots more opportunities in life to meet great people. Maybe uni just wasn't your time. I definitely wouldn't say you 'wasted' it unless you didn't get a degree or something.
Don't worry, redeem yourself in your final year. You can always change for the better, just try to adapt. Personally I think if people don't like you for who you are they can shove it. It is good that you have made friends who accept you for you- I would stay with them unless you are unhappy. *inspiring cliched speech over*

Perhaps because he is only 5"3 and has four friends...

You haven't wasted uni at all. Uni is for getting a degree and as long as you have left with one it was a success. Remember these wont be the people you are around for the rest of your life, only one more year then you are free to socialise with who you want

K missed that bit as I was typing. Got it.
Ignore all the idiots and just stick around with your mates. Like my first year of uni was pretty good, i got to know alot of cool interesting people and i was never the socialble type anyway.. but as you do live at home, so sometimes its hard for you to find out if your mates are going out - as they might decide about it last min, like most do lol!

TBH majority of people on my course do act like tw*ts... like they talk about you behind you back ect!
Like this guy told me that he would beat me up if i tap him on the back again!... even though I didnt do it and it was the people next to me!

Anyway in response to your thread, I think you should make more effort by joining societies. As you've said you don't get on with people on your course and obviously you live at home so you don't have flatmates makes it harder to make friends as you're not living with people and bonding as easily as you would. I don't really see how you can make friends other than that and nights out 
If all else fails you've already done 2 years anyway so **** em. As long as you have your degree that's all that matter s (edited 12 years ago)
