Not enjoying Uni.
Hey,
Quite simply, I'm not enjoying Uni. I was really looking forward to Uni life and at the beginning it wasn't all that bad. But, I'm now nearing to the end of my first year and everything just sucks.
- I haven't made any friends.
- I don't get on particularly well with my flat mates whom I've just signed a bloody contract with to love with them next year also.
- I lack motivation.
- I feel lonely.
- My friends from home have drifted.
- I'm skint.
- my girlfriend and I aren't getting on all that well.
The list goes on...
I was always told that Uni was the best time of your life. But, it's just not working out that way for me. I really don't want to pull out as I need my degree in order to pursue my dream career.
I just don't know what to do? Is this normal? Is anyone else in the same situation?
Someone please help!

I think it is normal, I felt the exact same way as you. I was so depressed at university that I actually started to lose my personality and a sense of who I was. I was different in the sense that I did have friends and nice flat mates but I just didn't enjoy university at all. Personally, I left and have deferred to start this September at a different University as I just couldn't imagine spending three years truly unhappy.
You have options though-
Have you thought about transferring?
Have you thought about taking year 2 abroad instead so you are not at your current university?
Not everything in life will be enjoyable.
This is normal, you could try other ways of socialising but most of all just accept that university is essentially about getting a degree. It sounds like you have a life plan and this is going to help you achieve that, great news for you because most students don't have that.
Start focusing on this rather than worrying about not having the university experience, it's really not that important.

True, but when it's going to put you £50k in debt then you would expect to at least find it bearable.
You're not alone
Can I ask a bit more about your flatmates and people you're sharing with next year? Is it that they're not very nice or like "boring" - I know that sounds a bit mean but I can only imagine those two reasons as being the most affective on someone's happiness.
It sounds like you've got very unlucky with your accommodation. In my hall, for example, it's literally impossible to not make a bunch of friends unless you lock yourself away. You'd actually have to make more of an effort to not socialise.
So like what's your accommodation like? Are you in a busy hall or is it a bit dead? What about your course?
I'm not trying to help you make new friends, I'm sure you've tried a lot of things, I'm just trying to understand the reasons.
I feel for you, lots of people seem to go through the same thing and it was my worst nightmare before I came to uni.
