This may be an odd one but it is something that's annoying me atm...

Basically I'm at college in my final year (year 13) and I have left most of my friends behind at secondary school. The college I'm at is a real dive with a lot of ***** about! They have no clue! They don't want to learn, they are just wasting time before they sign on for job seekers! I have just one friend at college but he lives an hour away so it's difficult to socialize with him when not at college. I also have a couple of very good friends from secondary school I keep in touch with too. I go to college three days a week and work three days a week which just leaves me Sundays to do stuff as my evenings are filled with college work. My work is in sound lighting power installation and hire for large events like the Cambridge Folk Festival and such.

So my problem is I have no time to socialize but I have a bit if money to spend as the job pays well. I also want a girlfriend atm too but with being an electronic student there's no women in any of my lectures.

I want to socialize with cultured people who want to succeed in life, who have standards, who like to eat good food and enjoy the finer things in life who don't just get through the week to get *** swearing should be fully starred out *** out their face on the weekend. The relationships with the girls I have been out with haven't got anywhere due to their interests not getting any more interesting than their journey to the place we met!

So basically I want a middle class social groups, some I might find if I managed to go to Cambridge uni!

Please OcUK what can I do?!!
 
Oh this will end well.

OP you sound a bit of a snob if im honest. Perhaps climb off your high horse and mix with the great unwashed a bit and you will meet some new and interesting people.

Umh, go to events where people like you want to meet hang out/go to and speak to them. Pretty straight forward.

Can you afford to live the life you want to? I fear you are quite a pretentious pompous kid to be honest...
 
Talk to the other SAPs in your class... Which college is this? You sound awfully familiar.
Anyways just speak to the socially awkward kids, they are the most interesting imo. They are more likely to be interesting than the extroverted drama queens.

PRC. One of them is unable to answer if you ask him his name another tried to freeze his nipple with deodorant to see if he could flick it off (I have got a pic for proof!)...

...I have torn my hair out for the past one and a half years at this place!

Maybe join a radio club or Electronics club then? Nerds are dying out :-( .
 
You definately sound like a little snob who thinks your better than everyone else at your college.

Why not just be forever alone? :p
 
I go to a similar school like you, actually even worse... much worse and I am just like you want to succeed in life but you see you are like one of those kids who complains about being bullied just because their smarter when that's not the fact you just cant socialize properly and you are very picky, some of my best friends are failing half there classes but that doesn't mean that they're not real people that cant be socialized with, that don't have personalities and tbh those kids that are failing are the most interesting because their is a reason for that and it can stir up conversations.
 
Sigh, he got suspended for not fully staring out a swear word. I've seen plenty of people just getting warnings for this, overly harsh for a new member in my peasant opinion.
 
Unnecessary. I barely drank or went out at University. Some people are just not into that sort of thing and it's amazing that some people think that not behaving like this makes you uncool.

OP. Try looking into clubs like chess (or go/weiqi/baduk). Sport is an easy intro to friends.

Really? It's not that amazing that the exact opposite of cool is considered uncool, is it?

Joking aside, I stand by what I said. I may have been a tad brutal through my honesty but nonetheless, OP will struggle to find friends with the sort of mentality he has demonstrated with this thread.

I get that some people have obscure interests which differ massively from almost everyone else's. I get that it might be frustrating when finding someone to share your interests with proves to be a struggle.

No need to look down on people for acting their age though.

Is that what he got suspended for?

I though he must have done something in another thread!

Seems a little harsh.
