    Is there any social clubs in the college you could join?

    Have your x-mates from college got boyfriends - they could be jealous of you??

    Sounds like girls to me..... They could argue over anything..... The thought of falling out with a mate because of who they go out with boggles my mind altho I do notice the phrase "odd argument, cough cough". Maybe the boyfriend is a complete tosser and the OP gets bitchy over having her BF criticised.

    Who knows.

    Anyway to the OP you have no friends then go make some. Join a club in your college is the usual thing to say right around now.

    yeah try to get involved in social clubs... I know it sounds like work in a way and a lot of hassle; not to mention if your anyway shy, but it will be worth it. If you be yourself and give people a chance people will respond to that and before ya know it there wont be enough space on your sim card for phone numbers! goodluck

    Sounds to me like the group of girls you fell out with aren't really your friends at all. You say you fell out with them over their concern for your personal well being and concern over the guy you're seeing. But if they really were concerned for you, they wouldn't neglect you like that. Are these girls single? Maybe they just don't want a bloke in the mix of their 'single girls' circle? You say that some of them know him longer than you do. Perhaps they're just jealous? Maybe they fancy him?

    My advice - get new friends who'll stand by you regardless of what personal decisions you make.

    this happened just before xmas, and now, the 2nd week into January you're feeling lonely and are thinking of dropping out????? wtf????

    No offence, but i think you need to do a bit of growing up, talking about dropping out of college because you fell out with your friends seems a tad childish don't ya think? Granted you may feel lonely, but i can guarantee this won't be the first time, what will you do when you have a family to support and fall out with a work mate? will you just leave work? I don't think so..

    With regards to your friends, they seem like dicks! Just start chatting to random people, you have class mates yeah? start a conversation about college work or something like that.. if you're in the canteen and you see a class mate eating alone or something, go sit next to them... whatever

    Sounds like you have problems with college and you just want an excuse to leave.

    You mention your' bf initially, thus indicating that he is the source of the problem, then you move onto your friends, and you seem to say that you're arguing with some of them, (or all of them?), and that's the problem. Then you make a leap to leaving college in a bid to solve whatever the problem is.

    Being charitable I'll suggest that college isn't all you'd hoped it would be, it's really just secondary school, but with a bigger playground, and more syllables. However, dropping out now, over something as frivolous as ....well, whatever you're saying is getting you down, that would be foolish.

    Being uncharitable, I'd say you need to get off your tod. Join a society or two. The people you know locally, tey don't all have to be the best friends in the world, friendship works by degrees, if you're lucky you'll have a small handful of truly great friends. But in the mainstay, you will know a lot of people more casually, these are people you may have a coffee, or a drink with, or head out with, but you won't have any special affinity with them. Which is fine. If you have that with te people you know locally, then give them a call, if you're expecting to have "The Ultimate Friendship" with everyone you meet in college, that's not going to happen.
