my experience isn't what i wanted so far.

so i hate to come on here and complain but i guess i just wanted to do a quick poorly-written rant and get some advice. i'm a first year transfer to ucla and ive been struggling with socializing. i guess before i came here, i had a vision of me having fun, making lots of friends, going out every weekend, and exploring LA during my free time. so far that hasn't been the case. i haven't made any real friends aside from regular acquaintances yet. i've attempted to involve myself in as many clubs as possible but they either reject me or already have a pre-existing friend group within them. i don't live in the transfer housing so thats been really tough, because i feel like that's how most people are making their friends. i see everyone on social media having the time of their lives here and it just feels like im on the outside looking in? i'm not really sure how everyone else has a friend group already and seeing people with their friends just makes me feel jealous and upset. that isn't to say i haven't been having a good time. i've been doing lots of exploring and side quests on my own. i'm just kind of lonely, which makes it hard to connect with the school- given how big it is on social life! i still haven't been to any parties or anything which i know is a lame thing to complain about but it sucks seeing everyone do all these cool things as i sit in the library by myself on another friday night. i have so many places around LA i wanna go to but it just sucks doing it on my own. in my hometown id always do stuff with my friends or family and not having them here has been hard. i genuinely am an independent person and i enjoy my own company but i feel like im missing out on the college experience that i thought i would get by coming here. as a transfer i only have 2 years and i feel like its going to waste. sorry that this was so badly written im literally laying in bed at 2 am lol
