Is it your first year in college? This is an adjustment period for many and why so many gain the "Freshman 10" (10 pounds of weight your first year in college). It takes some people a while to learn to "self regulate". I didn't say to myself "I am depressed" during that time in my life but my roomates did. They would see me fall into way before I ever did--I would only notice when it got bad. Maybe you aren't depressed but it IS important to try to keep yourself on schedule (maybe you are). I would run, swim laps and/or go to aerobics classes nearly everyday in addition to rarely missing a class--most of these things I did by myself--you may need to try to force yourself to do some activities. If you are not depressed, this should be very possible. When I joined AFROTC at the end of my sophmore year, I had instant social things to do (marches, intraservice sports, fundraising, an annual all day hike up a steep mountain, etc.) and, unlike a sorority, they paid me to participate. Also, I could not find a part time job until the 2nd semester of my freshman year--it is harder to find as many great things to do when you are broke. Sometimes I think of yoga classes as a way to pay to hang our with others LOL--many colleges provide free fitness classes as part of your tuition. Also, when you pick your major and start more specialized classes--you start seeing all the same faces in your classes. If you are in a big university--some of your classes might have 1,000 people in one class--this makes it harder to make friends. Junior and senior classes have a more "family like" feel to them because your career goals are more similiar. If it is your first year--hang in there--it will get better......
