I don't think its too late! You've got one whole year left, so there's plenty of time to make mates. You could even be friends with the freshers. Basically join societies your interested in like maybe drama or something sporty. Maybe you could become a student ambassador even. Basically just make an effort to be friendly and speak to people about anything. Good luck

Yes, just forget those idiots - it's bullying, it happens, be stronger. You've only got one year left, just try and make the best of it, maybe join some societies or something. Also crucial you study hard and get a good degree, though!

Most importantly: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE STOP PUTTING EXCLAMATION MARKS AT! THE! END! OF! EVERY! SENTENCE!

Yes join a few societies and you'll meet people who share the same interests as you, most people dont have friends in their courses.
Mate, unfortunately u have wasted your time at uni because;

1- u lived at home, so u were already an outsider before u even knew it
2- u missed out on bonding time during freshers week, instead u were at home
3- u messed up by not joining societies

u wer basically that person who turned up to class and dissapeard.

4- u cant expect people to just like you, you have to make an effort too, and dont use your weight as excuse, if u were being picked on in sports science fair enough, but its biomed, u not using that card im afraid.

WHAT U CAN DO

1- get a good degree
2- get into further study, or higher education
3- get a good job
4- respectfully, lose the weight, as a fellow scientist u should know better
5- MOVE AWAY FROM HOME (the root to your problems)

besides come down to the south, newcastle is horrible, you'll love it down here..trust me!

hope u listen to my advice, i wasnt trying to be horrible, just telling you the truth people wont tell you out of pity, which is even worse in my opinion.

Don't worry too much about it :smile: I made my closest friends in my final year. I lived for the first two years with two girls I had very little in common with. We hardly went out and they liked different music and tv to me, so I was very bored. In my final year I made some great friends. I travelled about an hour most nights to go and see them (they all lived together) so really your societies 30 minutes away shouldn't be too much of a problem! It worked out for me, I'm sure it will for you too!

u messed up, accept it

1- u stayed at home
2- did not join any societies
3- did not live with fellow student
4- made little attempt to be liked

WHAT U CAN DO

1- lose weight, you're digging an early grave, as a fellow scientist u should know better!
2- get a good degree
3- do ur med or dent degree or become a biomed scientist
4- get a good job

sorry if this is blunt, but the truth everyone is not telling u out of pity....This forthcoming year, do something amazing with your life..and one day you might even be able to lift the middle and index fingure to those that did you wrong!
Next time someone is mean to you, pull a knife out on them. They'll think twice then... or make jokes that you're going to cut a cake. But who doesn't like cake :smile:

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?


You live at home at uni, this is you issue. You're still a kid.
Sounds like you need a confidence boost, and the only way you'll get that is to lose the weight.

Ditch the pies, start a strict diet and go a for a jog everyday for 2 miles. Come November you'll be a new man.

The title of your thread is ambiguous. When I decided to read your post, I automatically assumed you would mention SOMETHING regarding:

1). Which university you are attending
2). The name of your course, and how interested you are in it
3). How well you have been doing on the course

You have failed to mention anything of these three things, which really are central to going to university in the first place. Please, for the sake of future readers, emphasise how you've not been 'successful' in the social aspect of being a university student

Jesus H Christ! :lolwut:

I've never heard of people making friends in 3rd year, I don't really think it happens that often.

It's far too late for that sort thing anyway, I say you get your head down, get through this year a quick as possible and hope nobody recognises you from that place.

It sounds like the problem is that you live with your parents, and not at uni. What did you expect? People aren't exactly going to be queuing up to be your friend.

You have pretty much wasted the best years of your life though...
Unless you were studying a degree in socialising then i don't see how you have wasted your time...
