Most of my friends have left for their respective colleges already and are totally MISERABLE. I have friends going to LMU, San Deigo State, UOP (boyfriend), and several other smaller private schools you may not have heard of...
They're all extremely wonderful, outgoing, social kids and they say that they've never been more lonely. That's really freaking me out!
Is this the way it is for everyone when they first start out in college? I'm living in "suites" which I heard are super-unsocial (wish I knew that before I signed up!).
Anybody have any tips for making the first few weeks more bearable? Should I avoid constantly calling home, boyfriend, friends, and attempt to make random friends around campus?
Thanks for bearing with me... I know this is a really long and rambling post.
XOXO,
Annie.

When I left for my first college (and even now that I transferred to another college), I found that the best way to meet new people with similar interests as you is to join organizations on campus. Joining a club, student government or even a sorority is a great way to find a new "group" and find people that have similar interests as you.
Before I transferred, I was already a member of Delta Sigma Pi (which is a co-ed professional fraternity for men & women pursuing careers in business). I got in touch with the chapter at my new school and found the people in this chapter to AMAZING even though I had never met them before and they introduced me to other people in other organizaitons that I might be interested in.
