Iin, to be really depressed just because i graduated hs last year?

Hey everyone whats up!? I'm a 19 year old dude in college. I can't believe this first year of it is almost over already I graduated high school last year in 2010 and I miss it so so much. It seems im the opposite of everyone else I know everyone couldn't wait to go to college and they hated high school. I miss it so much though it was so fun and senior year was so care free and everyone was just cool with eachother. I go to a lame community college now that is boring as hell, I want to transfer to a real college to get the fun experience.

Ever since I started college I have been so depressed, all I ever want to do is sleep and I'm not doing as well on my school work as I would like to be doing. I never want to grow up, and I just want to be young and I know thats not possible.

I feel so depressed because I feel like I didnt live up the 4 years of HS like I should have, Im lost in life, I never see half the kids I knew anymore, I dont have a GF, or even any girls to kick it with. I feel like I'm nothing and I hate it. Sometimes I don't even want to wake up in the morning.

Please answer this, thank you so much!
peace.

  • Totally normal to miss your old life and the people in it, i'm sort of in the same boat. I finish school in a few weeks and I really don't want to! I think you need to get out more or have you considered moving into dorms or whatever they have in America? If you put yourself in those situations, awkward they may be at first, but you will inevitably meet new people! Try not to dwell on the past and focus on the present because i'm sure soon enough you will have new people in your life and you will still have fond memories of HS but wont necessarily be pining for it.
    As for depression, this must be taken really seriously, because if you feel you are actually properly depressed then you need to seek some sort of help because it will just jeep getting worse, sorry to say. Good luck you seem like a nice guy.

  • Being in college has a lot of pressure that comes with it.and a new beginning witch some people don't like also here's 2 reasons you may not like it. Life is life and we can ether move on or get use to the way we are living good luck.I hope things start looking brighter for you!!!

  • Gotta look forward, not back. You'll never be in high school again. Make the most of college- because you'll miss it, too.

  • Also, experiment with different classes. When I found something that really interested me, and I wanted to major in, it made college a lot more exciting.

  • This is what life's all about after high school. In highschool the social aspect and excitment is just there for you. Now you should start to discover new ways to experience that on your own. Hobbies are good- some type of sport, art, music, volunteering. Keep an open mind to making new friends at college too. I know it's hard, but try to be active when your feeling depressed, and it will pass after a while.

  • Yeah I miss highschool so so much!!! I'm exactly like you very depressed about it and wanting to stay young forever! I just turned 21 so I'm freaking out lol but my advice to you is to accept reality that you aren't getting any younger so you need to live your life and do what makes you happy!!! Set goals and work to reach them and have fun! 19 is still very young.

  • well, what I always put in my head is someday I will graduated from the school, and i will be able to do whatever I'd like to do.. So I just do what ever they want students to do, again remember that the goal is to be graduated..
    Because the more you think about it, the more you stressed out..

    Good luck there..

  • It's very normal to feel depressed about graduating high school. When I was about to graduate I was actually having panic attacks because I was so scared to be on my own, I was really sad sometimes.

    I actually go to a four-year college, and although the work is hard, I've made so many friends, I'm no longer very shy, and I have a lot of fun here. It sounds like a four-year college is something you might be interested in. You might want to consider transferring.

  • You miss high school cause there isn't anything to it, it's a breeze and one that you can get through without working much at all.
    You would've been better off attending your 2010 frosh/orientation week. You would've learned the transition from hs to college, and met people your age starting as well. If you transfer to a 'real' college (and they aren't 'fun', just bearable), go to frosh week.
    Otherwise, you'll have to suck it up, cause this is when real life kicks in.
