I Hate College I Miss High School

I hate my college and miss home?

I recently won a full ride to college a long way from home. It's a good school in an amazing city. But I honestly hate my classes and I hate the people here. I started college back home and I honestly think my old school was better. I love the city I'm in, and don't want to go home because I'll feel like I've given up. But at the same time I hate my classes here, and have no friends. I miss my friends from home and my family, and now I only get to see them a few weeks a year. I feel lonely and trapped and don't know what to do.

I hate college. alot. I miss high school. alot.?

ugh where do i begin. of course everyone says i cant wait for college towards the end of their senior year. and that was me because i was so sick of my high school. now i cant stand college. i go to a small private catholic school in the suburbs and it is sooooo boring here.

i play basketball at the school and it really isnt going that well. the coach doesnt play me even though im the fourth leading scorer as a freshman. my roomate situation was awful. thank god she leaves once the semester is over. she even tweeted that she hated me for no reason. whatever. the food here sucks. the chicken isnt even real and all it does is send you to the bathroom after you eat it. the weekends are TERRIBLE! no parties no nothing. no one stays on campus and your basically stuck by yourself if you even stay. thats mainly why i go home every weekend. i had to change my major because the nursing program is full of b@tches here. so now my grades are all screwed up because i have all new classes next semester.

its just really below my expectations of college. everyone says its going to be the best four years of your life....yeah right. high school was more fun than this. i miss high school basketball and my team sooooo much. in college, sports are all business and my team just makes fun of me allllll the time for no reason.

its like i wish i was little again with no worries. why did i wish it all away.

can i please have tips or advice. i really need it. no smart comments please.

I hate college, I miss high school?

Im a 20 year old guy and I miss high school way to much. I am going to be a junior in college and am honestly not looking forward to it. I spent most of my high school time hanging out and going to parties with a lot of friends. No one ever really cared about school itself but what happened outside of school and the social part. I was the only one out of many of my friends that actually did well in school and got into a big university an hour or two away from home. Its not that I hate my major but I just don't like the college all together, I have made new friends but I miss high school. I hate the dorms, the professors, the people and my roomate. I don't even like parties which are mostly loud music at frat houses and drunk people throwing down all over the place. I just miss my high school life, the parties where you hang out and meet new people, playing beer pong in the garage on saturday nights, just everything about it. Im home for the summer and have fell back into that life and I don't want to go back in two weeks. I see all my old friends going to the local community college and having a fun time in my old town. I dont mean to sound whiny but does anyone else feel the same way?

I miss high school. I'm a Sophomore in college.?

When you're in high school you (for the most part) can't wait for it to end. Once you get to college you want to go back to the simpler times of high school. Then once you graduate college you'll be in the real world wishing you could go back to the care-free times of college.

Obviously some people had a miserable high school and don't miss it one bit, but thats another story.

You're not alone, plenty of ppl feel that way. You'll meet friends, just keep trying. It gets better and even if it doesn't theres no use worrying about it since you can't go back in time.

I hated high school and now I hate college, what's wrong w/ me?

Why you hate HS or College might be a bit helpful. There could be alot of things wrong with you, it could be nothing. You need to give us more information.

I miss my life before I graduated high school?

DMV, I understand where you're coming from. I can't say I ever missed high school, but as the years go on I look back at certain periods in my life and I wish I could have some element of them back -- and yes, often it is some sort of security I felt then.

Only...I have begun to wonder how much stability I really did feel then, and how much I now BELIEVE that I must have had then, by comparison to my current life. Does that make sense?

Actually, I feel extremely secure right now. I have been married for twelve years to the most wonderful man on the planet. He goes a long, long way toward helping me feel secure. He has given me emotional insights and strengths that I never knew I had, before. But there were days when I woke up from extremely intense, realistic dreams about being home with my mom and dad again, living in our old house, etc., etc. I woke up longing for it to be so. Of course, it never can be that way again. Despite all the theorizing by physicists, for all intents and purposes our lives move only in one direction. Which direction is it? YOU must make it move "forward." You can never move backwards; you can get into a horrible, uncomfortable, terrible stall moving sideways. So make it move forward.

What you're experiencing is a normal part of growing up. You will grow through this period. You will make new friends, move to new places, experience new things that will cause you to move forward. Chances are pretty good you will also go back into this stall once in a while, looking back, longing for a time that...never may have really existed as you think it did. So you'll have to work your way through it again.

You may need some greater purpose in your life than just going to school and making friends. You may find some of that hole inside of you closing up if you volunteer at an animal shelter, go to church, work a crisis hotline, whatever. You don't have to be Mother Theresa; you just have to find a way to keep moving forward. Don't want that black hole inside of you to grow so big it just eats you up. Finding ways to help other people, creatures, the environment, whatever, often has a way of making a black hole shrink.

Good luck, sweetheart.
