Moving and Loneliness

[APhi Sailorgirl]

Looking for a little encouragement.

I just moved to Boston to pursue my Masters and left my family and friends all back in the MD/DC/VA area. I've found two things so far:

A)everyone up here seems to have taken time off before coming to school, so i'm feeling pretty young since i came straight from undergrad

B)my roommates are cool, but they are all older and have their friends, so i feel left out a lot

C)i feel like i'm never going to find friends. I mean I'm only here for a year and a half, but so far everyone i have met, it just doesn't seem to click

I mean, I know I'm a big girl and I should be able to do things on my own, but I'm used to having 50 sisters around me to do stuff with. I am advising a chapter up here and starting to do stuff with alums, but I just feel alone

For those of you who have left everything, I mean how did you do it. I don't regret moving, but I dont want to spend the next year and a half all by myself.
