I am not enjoying university
Hey guys,
I'm just posting cause I really don't know what to do and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice.
I've only been at uni for a little while now but I'm really not enjoying myself and don't really know how to. I don't feel home sick at all and I'm very used to being independent at home so none of thats an issue
But I feel so out of place
I come from a poor family and I've found that everyone here has so much money and their life experiences are so completely different to the point that I can't get involved in the conversation.
Another issue is that I dont drink or do drugs. I feel like all social aspects at uni require drinking. And I don't want to spread covid to people so I havent been going to parties.
I just feel so lost. I have found some people who I like to talk to and we hang out but something feels missing. I wish I had more hours of uni work to keep me busy but nothing and I can't even find a job.
I dont know. I seriously feel like im missing out constantly but I dont even know what

I don't know what uni you go to, but mine has a 93% society - for the 93% of people in this country who went to state school. You'll probably find some people who are from a similar financial background to yourself, which can definitely make you feel more at home. And I can assure you, there are things you can do to socialise without drinking - I don't drink either, and I have a nice time and have friends. Join societies, see if you can find any online groups for people from your uni and I'm sure you'll find people who you'll get along with.
As above, join societies! Particularly with covid, societies will be a lot less centred around drinking and going out, as there are a lot less opportunities to do this. If you are interested in sport or a general topic, your uni should have societies to suit these needs. You can do corona-safe activities and it will get you out and meeting more people

Hope your okay 🥺 it’s hard but you’ll find like minded people !! They’ll be plenty of others out there thinking the same thing don’t even worry. Try to stay positive and definitely join societies. As you meet more people it’ll get easier. Covid is making it very difficult at the moment so don’t get too upset as it’s not ideal xx
