Y'know PoL, that's the experience of a lot of students when they first go to college. Probably more students find that first transition hard than don't.

Whenever you hear tales of college life it seems like one big party and big gangs of mates. But that takes time, and for most kids the first few weeks are a serious adjustment. It's harder to relax and make friends if you aren't even on familiar ground: but the unfamiliar becomes the familiar pretty quickly.

Your classes and any extra-curricular stuff you get involved in will bring you into contact with people and at some point you'll find you've slipped into a group with a bunch of others.

But don't give yourself a hard time over it. There's nothing lame about it at all, you're doing something that most people would find daunting.
