Lonely At Griffith
Today, well into my second year at university, I still haven't made a single friend. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

This pandemic hit some of us harder than others
Today, I've had to accept that, despite my efforts to stay in touch with the few friends I made at college, I have zero friends. FML

Today, I read my university's newsletter. Apparently we're starting up a "buddy" system for international students. I'm signing up, because this will help me complete my goal of making my first friend at university. FML

Moving on
Today, I saw yet another dear friend from uni get married, living the good life in their new home. Here am I in my 30s, with no love life, and feeling like that's never going to be for me. FML

Today, I found out that despite having attended every university party held over the last two years, the only physical contact I have had with a member of the opposite sex is when the security guard stamps my hand. FML

Bass players unite
Today, it's been a year since I graduated high school and nobody, not even my own friends, has hit me up since then. I may as well be dead to them. I was in a band, but I'm now realising they only pretended to be nice to me since I was the only person in the school who knew how to play bass. I haven't talked to a soul other than my family and myself since. FML

Today, I sent a friend request on facebook to the only person I became friends with this semester at college. He denied me. FML

Today, I found out that my friends from high school have yearly meet-ups to catch up and talk about what they've done since school. They've done this for 3 years. I havent even been invited once. FML

Lonesome today
Today, I've noticed a pattern with my classmates: Every time a new student shows up, they are treated by my classmates as though they've known each other for years. Everyone except me. When I first came along, I was more or less a wallflower. No one wanted anything to do with me. The same is true today. FML

Help this person out, please?
Today, I have no close friends, only "people I know and occasionally talk to." I have no idea how I got here, and how to re-socialize back. FML

Today, I realised being the only female engineering student sucks. I have exactly one friend, because everyone else is too busy staring at my boobs to have a conversation. FML

I didn’t until 3rd year. The people I met prior either religious-nuts or like drinking and smoking. I met people I clicked with (video games, non-alcoholic) on 3rd year, through a classmate, who is now my husband.

Is it because you’ve been working hard and studying instead of partying? If so, you’re doing okay. But be sure to take time to do something enjoyable. Find clubs or groups where you’ll find people that you have a common interest.

You don't need them, you've got a degree to earn.

Honestly I'm the same. I don't go out of my way to meet or talk to people outside of class. High school I sat at the front to see the board, hell if I know knew my classmates... heck most of the time I'm not even looking at the teacher, just at what they're writing or what we have to read... one time my freshman year of high school, I accidentally made it into the wrong history class (Juniors) I didn't even realize the teacher wasn't the same. He only didn't say anything about it until the class ended because the principal and heads were doing a visit to his class and I was answering a bunch of questions. Haha I was 1 door over from my real class. He did tell the teacher and they had a joke about it... Then before our first test, we had a Jeopardy for points towards our test... (not that I'd need the points. They all thought I'd be there forever getting points...the first question...what classroom are we in? I said the room number right above the classroom, lol. I mean... I'm there to learn the subject anyway, so I guess I just block out the people unless they interact with me directly. I sure went off on a huge tangent... you don't need friends in college. If you want friends, do an activity you like and you'll meet people who like things you like. I did sports. Met wonderful people that way.
