You know, I'm going to come across as a mom here (and my kids are still in elementary school) but the school years including college and graduate work, are really tough sometimes, the ages of finding yourself, of discovering who you really are and having to fit in with the crowd in a structured kind of environment all seems to work against us sometimes.
Sometimes it's good to reach out in a different way..you know, instead of hanging out, maybe doing something for others (maybe even forcing ourselves to do it sometimes) giving some of our time to a cause we are interested in, a charitable organization, the environment, tutoring computer classes, whatever, etc. That does help us feel more included in life sometimes and get to know others out of our own regular sphere. Just a suggestion. I understand it's hard.
