MissCherryPie, it sounds a little like you are having a hard time ajdusting to college. It can be like that. You might want to talk to someone at the student counseling office. If there is a non-traditional student support group, you might want to check it out.

You are 28. You are a nontraditional student. I loved nontraditional students when I was a TA. They were always the hardest workers. Adjusting to school is a little tougher for them (you), though. It takes longer for nontraditional students to find a social niche. Besides talking to a counselor, I would strongly suggest finding a group that is activity oriented.

From my undergraduate days, off the top of my head, my first thoughts are the marching band, solar car team, cross country, theater, water polo, student newspaper, college radio, madrigals, jazz band, the group that raises money to build wells in poor countries (Engineers for Water?)... whatever you school calls the community activity board might also be good. That's the student group that brings in bands and movies and entertainers.
