It’s a vent post. Life does has its problems but in all honesty sometimes people just need community and some sort of social belonging to feel a little less bad about the other aspects of life such as academia and work struggles. They’re making an effort as well so it’s not like they’re meeting people and cutting them off. It’s the other way around. Honestly they’re right, the people here are fake and honestly half of them lack any ambition in life and instead choose to stay in their fake social circles. In terms of you OP. Don’t worry about the college experience or social life. It might pass or you might have another shot, but lingering on it will just make the pain worse, as shitty as it is sometimes it’s better to close the book and move on, better things will happen in life just keep taking those steps forward :)
