The people on my corridor are as boring as hell.

I live on a corridor in my halls at uni with four other girls, and they're so boring that it's depressing. They never want to go out, they stay in all the time, they're never up for doing something spontaneous and they go to bed at like 11pm every night (even Fridays!) I'm friends with them and they're nice people, but I just find myself missing my friends at home so much when I'm with them, who are sooooo much more fun and up for having a laugh. The guys who live on the floor below us think they're really boring as well, but I end up getting associated with them as well because I live with them. So that means I get classed as "boring" too. As a result, the guys have given up trying to include us in things and just go out by themselves without us.

I do have friends in other blocks, but when it comes to outings and stuff, people tend to go out with others in their own blocks. So I'm stuck with mine. I'm in societies, but obviously there's a limited amount of time that I can spend with those people. What can I do? I'm going insane.

Jus tell your mates in the other blocks that you're dying through lack of social stuff and to please remember you when they go out. Or, better yet, you invite them out.

Go up to the sub on your own you will then find some other friends to go out with. That's what i did, at the time it didn't bother me that they were all oder than me and mostly men, I miss my sub crew. I now live with the greatest girl in the world, we go out loads and have lots of fun.

See you're at Soton - I am not as bad as your flatmates but I don't ever go out with them, maybe we could swap rooms!?

Look forward to next year, when you move out of halls. I certainly am, My current halls situation is half of them go out all the time, but their the sort of crowd i don't hang out with, then there's the ones who never go out, no matter how many times you ask (with the exception of during the daytime, no alchol included: which admittedly can sometimes be more fun) Maybe you could organise things outside the corridor to do with them. Or as I do just go out with friends from other blocks.

I think you're a bit mean calling them boring just because they don't like that lifestyle, they just have different interests that's all. Like other people have said, just invite your other friends out.

And if they refuse? Like you said, they prefer staying in.

Go and complain about the girls to the guys on the corridor below so they know that you're different from them and ask them to remember you when you go out.

The people on my corridor are as boring as hell.
