Hello
So I am writing today because it is Friday night, Halloween weekend, and I am locked inside my dorm room. The entire residence is blasting music, getting drunk and I am locked inside my dorm for the second day in a row.
I moved to Toronto from Calgary, Alberta last year for my first year of University. I moved straight into a room that was being rented out in an apartment, and not into residence at my university. I learnt over the year the value of my friends in Calgary and I feel that not having them with me in Toronto really strengthened my relationships, and I had a blast seeing all of my friends for a month over xmas and four months this past summer.
I value my friends because I have had an extremely difficult time finding social support here in Toronto.
Basically the only reliable way of meeting people that I discovered was internet dating, which I never thought I would do
This year I tried to do things differently.
I moved into an alternative residence off campus- a student co op- that unfortunately doesnt host many 'social' events or foster socializing.
I joined a bball team, but my teammates are all a lot older than me, very competitive and I'm the worst player on the team
I joined a club at school but can't seem to make friends that way
I got a job but again friends at work are only friends within the workplace so far
All of that being said I do have a couple of good friends, and a boyfriend of a couple of months who I met online last year but I do not want to tax those relationships and I think it's important to have a wide circle of friends
I don't know what to do
