Long story short, Ive been an education major, a psychology major and now finally I was made to switch to something different, I picked social work.
  • I am a senior.
  • I am 21 years old
  • My mommy made me move into the on campus dorms, after living off campus in an apt with my friends for a year
  • I have a single room with a roommate, which means we share one room and one bathroom
  • Because of budget cuts, my school has now forced the Resident Assistants (RAs, at my school they are Community Assistants, CAs) to have roommates.
  • My roommate is the CA
  • The CA rooms in my building are smaller than a normal sized single studio room for 2 regular students, because this room was only supposed to be for one person
  • i have changed my major for the 3rd time, making me feel like an utter waste of space, and now have tacked on another 2 years at mininum to my college career.
  • In the time it takes someone to get their masters degree i will have only completed my Batchelors degree.
  • I dont have a car or bike to get around campus or town.
  • I am the oldest person on my floor
  • I feel like I am losing all of my friends because I dont live with them now, and I am at the point where making new friends is the last thing on my mind. I am not in the stage of being buddy buddy with anyone anymore.

I feel so frustrated because I feel like Im losing my friends and have no way around to things I need (ie, the grocery store). I feel alone because my friends are off campus and I have no one around me like I used to. The only moment of privacy I get is when my roommate leaves the room to go to her boyfriends dorm (which i believe she abuses her CA authority because we are not allowed to have guests of the opposite sex for overnights), Im on the toilet or taking a shower. I feel stupid and worthless because of the forced change from psychology to a new major, and that Ive tacked on extra time.

Im not really sure what Im posting this here for, maybe for some people who have also been in this situation or who have some kind words. I dont know.
