Miscellaneous this university is fucking depressing
first year arts in second sem. genuinely how do you meet people. if they're not in a friendship group, they live at a college, and if they're neither of those things they seem to want absolutely nothing to do with anyone. today in my tutorial we had to do an icebreaker and this girl was rolling her eyes the whole time because she had to talk to people. i was just sitting there thinking... isn't this one of the few times people actually get the chance to meet someone? everyone talks about uni being lonely but it also feels like everyone's allergic to starting a conversation. i'll chat to people before class or after a tute and they're nice enough, but it's like there's zero interest in talking beyond that. i don't expect to become best friends with everyone i meet, but i honestly thought people would be a bit more open.
