1. Go to the gym on campus, there is bound to be a good one. You have plenty of time to get it great shape, if you aren't already.

2. Go for long runs.

3. It's swimming season. Watch your university swim meets. Swim laps when the pool is open for everyone else.

4. Find out what is going on at the performing arts building at your school at and go to some shows.

5. Offer tutoring for subjects you are good at and make some money.

6. Get a job if your classes aren't challenging enough to keep you busy.

7. Learn how to cook healthy meals you can make yourself.

8. Go on hikes on the weekend. There is probably a club at your school that already does this. Join it.


There are so many resources at your school that will never be available to you again, in the way they are now. Explore them and find something to do!

Read a book?

Go to a museum?

Get used to this; this is adult life.

Find some friends, and quickly. You can get in a rut for years. Get into amateur radio, buy some pigeons, join the army, just get out there.

Join the school newspaper. There are usually other clubs to join.

My senior year, I interned and was off campus for two/three days a week. Somehow, I got out of the typical college student routine. It was isolating.

My son's friend changed majors which required an extra semester of school. All of his friends graduated and he was really lonely too.

You aren't alone. It's more common than you think. Join clubs.

Dude, "successful but lonely" is a chick magnet. Find a squirmy 19-year-old to ease the ache of those lonely cafeteria meals. I haven't been where you are in 50 years, and would love to have three months of that back.

You could be having so much fun.

Don't forget that college is such an artificial environment. It is so far off from the real world. Better much unhealthy besides.

Graduate school will be a completely different situation.

Lol, at least the OP spelled "college" correctly.

I am amazed at the number of college grads who spell it "collage"!!

They graduated, but can't spell where they went to graduate from?!?!

But what do I know? I never finished college....

To the OP:
I echo the others, concentrate on graduating with THE BEST grades you can get in those mos.

You will have time to socialize later.
If it really bothers you, find a nearby church to join where the college kids go.
Join a campus club.
Check into the college volunteer opportunities.
Befriend another student sitting isolated in the cafeteria.
Join a class study group.

Any number of things you can do.

Best of luck to you...
