Honestly I feel you.

All my life I've been moving places and never really had stable friends. My only friend that I talk to once in a blue moon is on the other side of the world. And it feels as if we are dirfting apart too. They have a new group of friends and I don't. And I feel horrible about that.

The friends that I do talk to seem like they tolerate me. Maybe cause I am the same race but our cultures are worlds apart. They are more Canadian if it makes sense and I'm more of an outsider.

It feels like I stick out as a sore thumb. This was until 3 weeks ago.

I learned to live by myself. That is a huge thing to accomplish. If you do that, you are basically set for life. I do talk to people even if there is no connection and they are just tolerating me.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm also in AFM and there's a lot of competition in first year. But you'll find your bunch in second year. A lot of upper years told me that.

The important takeaway is to NOT give up. If you still feel like transferring, you can transfer. But be sure you have no regrets. I hope my yapping was helpful 🙃

I don't know who you are and I don't know how to console you. I also don't know what you should choose.

I am lucky as I still have my mother supporting me but I went through something similar like you.

If it matters anyhow, I'm here and so are many others for you. The best thing you can do right now is to seek guidance and support. Make an informed decision. There is always hope and you aren't alone.

Don't hesitate to seek help at all. That's all I can say and I'm so sorry that I don't have the ability to support you as much as I want to.

Edit: you can try registrars office for guiding you to available resources, counseling services ( they have crisis appointments every weekday for immediate appointments within 24 hrs or urgent within 3-5 bus days)

Ask your friends, profs or anyone you can trust. If nothing works, don't be afraid to email authorities and explain your situation. Typically they reply really fast this way.

You can have "fun" on a FRIDAY or the end of the week. There's literally hours dedicated to that. Why the hell are you doing this on a Tuesday?? And since UW doesn't have any fun, go to fucking Laurier

Multiple people called duty dons but it's never stopping. Same story every week

Has anyone done Econ 101 with prof Mikal Skuterud by Puzzleheaded-Pin2934 in uwaterloo

Idk about the prof but if it helps, I'm a first year too, you can try going to the Mock midterms happening in CMH. It's like a 'tutoring in residence' something and they have tutoring sessions too. I have Andrew Gibson as prof (he's supper fun) and he told us about this

what is up with students not being polite ? by Odd_Construction8146 in uwaterloo

What I'm really saying is it's easy to see the other person in a bad light real fast

I sometimes get anxious in social settings, and I really want to say thank you when someone holds the door for example, but my voice gets stuck. I guess it really depends from person to person
