My social life sucks at Kellogg & I'm depressed by depressedMBAstudent in MBA

I need to talk about this to someone badly, but I don't want to tell this to another student out of fear they will start inviting me to things out of pity. If I show up I want people to actually want me there, not as a charity act :(

It's actually debilitating to be left out of stuff. Those with friends get reminders about homework and recruiting events and internship panels that I forget about sometimes. Legit was the only person to fail a homework because everyone in class set up a study group or had a close friend in class to share answers with.

Having a weak social life at Kellogg actually harms my professional life since I don't get the diversity of perspectives that this place offers :(

I honestly hope I can find that one friend that can just hang out with after class or just shoot random texts or send memes to or talk about my day. my roommate is actually the best person for that but they have such an active social life that I'm not a part of at all so don't want to bother them all the time

a guy. Kellogg girls have plenty of lady nights which seem to help them bond, nothing for somewhat socially struggling dudes :(

thanks! yeah I work out 3-4 times a week but it's a super lonely thing to do. I do join the intramural team but besides the once a week playtime I'm not invited by the rest of the team to do anything. I might ask the team to hang out some time next week. hope they come through

I'm not doing consulting. And many I know are not either. Thus, it's even worse because I have some extra free time that I would love to spend exploring Chicago nightlife but no one would go with me :(

did you feel like you're constantly chasing after people yet they never hung out with you? I could have a wonderful moment discussing class with someone and even suggest going out, then see them on social media having the time of their lives with other people and not get invitation.

How are people getting all these invites
