You are looking at things all wrong. I was so socially inept in Highschool, didn’t have any real friends didn’t fit in, they were the worst four years of my life.

But college is a chance to start over, everyone there will be in the same situation. Away from home for the first time, trying to make friends trying to fit in. I recommend moving into the dorms, they have their drawbacks but it will force you into the middle of college life. It might seem scary but only if you think of it in those terms, this is your chance to put the pain of Highschool in the past and leave it there.

You are stronger than you know, wiser than you believe and can endure more than you can imagine.

Going off to college is a good thing, but only if you are willing to embrace that concept. If you head off to college full of dread well you will find reasons to be depressed. But if you go with hope, just a bit of hope, that you can sort of start over, and you might be able to make things better, and if you really look for opportunities to do so (they will be there if you look for them and are willing to embrace them) then your life can change for the better in so many ways.

Good luck, and think happy thoughts. If you look for bad things you will always find them, but if you look for good things not always but sometimes you will find them, but you have to look.

Keep an open mind at the very minimum.
