Look at that bolded word.

There is NO SUCH THING as "automatic friends." These girls have an automatic new social circle, maybe, but automatic friends? No way. Lasting riendships take time, whether they are in your dorm, your sorority, your athletic team, your camp, whatever.

If you've come from a fairly active HS social life (especially if you never really had to try that hard to have it) I know this is really really really hard to take, but being in the place of those HS women who DIDN'T have an active social life will do you nothing but good in the long run. You have a fresh slate. You have to work. Nothing will be handed to you.

In the meantime, get out of your dorm, get involved in activities, and, oh yeah, concentrate on your classes.
