Exactly my (and my husband's) problem. We're not into the main campus "ideals," (for moral or religious reasons) such as:

  • drinking
  • partying
  • going to sports events (I rather get a crappy team together to jokingly play a sport than sit and watch one.)
  • going out late night to do... whatever
  • doing drugs
  • taking ritalin/adderall (sp?)/meth to stay up if an emergency sets back the date to complete an assignment. (Use good-old willpower instead and nap later.)
  • watch horror movies or chick flicks
  • go shopping (too poor)
We'd rather:

  • Watch kid's movies, which no one wants to go with us to see (Rapunzel was amazing)
  • Read, real books, not magazines about "50 Ways to BlahBlahBlah"
  • Discuss scientific/philosophical/religious/other interesting subjects, not what Glee was about yesterday or why Lindsey Lohan is in jail again
  • Form efficient study groups, but no one gets near us anyway or cares about studying
  • Dress in alternative fashion (and we're in the land of jeans and a free t-shirt. Minus the big bow [small one] and just normal black hair let loose and you can see how I dress on non-lab days. Note this isn't me though, but a similar style: http://www.lolitafashion.org/images/gothic7.jpg Husband goes baggy-pants goth 😛 )
  • Attempt new cooking styles or try new, healthier, organic foods rather than go eat greasy campus food. We love herbal, unsweetened teas while campus drinks sodasodasodasodabeer!
  • Attempt crafts, such as his basic woodworking and my sewing. We also dabble a bit in sketching, paiting, writing fiction/lyrics and I forgot the rest.
  • And if we shop, bargain hunt for something we need for the house or some other necessity
Yeah, we're a little "boring," but at least we go to class, don't end up with hangovers, and you can trust us with many responsibilities. 🙂 And we haven't made a single friend on campus yet.

You guys sound like a great time (not srs).
 
Actually, maybe for the bulk of you who are quite a bit younger than me, they sound dull, for those of us who don't need to drink/party, the things they mentioned sound like fun. Its all perspective... If the only way you can have fun is to get drunk and party, you are a loser imho, and even when I was 19 I thought the same thing. I'd much prefer to spend time with people whose activities reach beyond the typical college list... Dirtbiking anyone? Skiing? Volunteering cause you want to help not cause it looks good on your app...

The attitude of your post just seemed a little polarizing. If you don't have friends on campus, I wouldn't believe that's because you and your spouse are unique in your interests. There's a very large college-aged group that enjoys all the stuff you enjoy.

Perhaps you should take a look at how you evaluate people. Does someone finding the latest episode of Glee interesting really say anything about their character/personality/interests? It's a TV show, tons of people watch stuff that probably is stupid.

I'll also assume that your philosophical/scientific/religious/elite topics are unique to you both? Because no other college student has the depth to discuss these kinds of issues? Just Lindsay Lohan and teletubbies right? I'm willing to guess that even you don't always talk about these kinds of intellectual topics.

So what if other students drink soda? Two people that enjoy different beverages couldn't possibly expect to understand each other?

I just find your entire post smacks of elitism and smugness. There are tons of college students that enjoy almost everything that you've pointed out. More importantly, there are tons of college students that enjoy stuff that you haven't pointed out...perhaps that's a good basis for getting to know them and interacting with someone that has some unique interests.

Note: I'm happily young and not a partier/drinker.

Or maybe that's something you tell yourself so you won't have to realize how much you don't relate to your peers. I mean srsly if someone wants friends they need to change themselves so that they can become more sociable. Finding a niche only works for so long. Why? Because there is no guarantee that it will always be around and you'll be back to square one. And if I were to be honest, people who espouse views like that are typically the self important pseudo-intellectuals who eschew anyone who doesn't consider translating ancient greek to be fun.

TL;DR Version

Nonconformists conform solitude.

I've been in school for over a year now. Only once have I gone out on a Friday night, and that was to see Black Swan with my brother. The way I see it, if I sacrifice my time now and put that time into studying, it'll pay off when in the long run. I'd much rather be at a social workplace gathering for physicians in 10 years than be in a frat house drunk with my face in a toilet now.

I'm a little confused. What are your moral/religious reasons for not watching horror movies/chick flicks, not going out at night, etc? I can understand the drinking part, but what's with the movie thing? 😕

Hope you don't want to go into anything that involves a scalpel. Most surgeons I know fit the college fraternity stereotype more than anyone in my old college fraternity.

Didn't imply it's not possible for college kids to do such things, just saying that a vast majority would prefer drinking to the things listed... Or better, drinking while doing the things listed. For the record, how many college aged girls/women do YOU know who dirtbike? and own and ride their OWN bike street and dirt... probably not many... so don't pull crap with me because I know damn well most women don't ride street let alone dirt... I have 15 years of volunteer experience in the world of MC racing to back up my statement. No, I don't race, because it's tooooo much $$$...

Regardless, to each their own, girl posts she's different and most college-age kids don't relate to them, yeah, she's dead right... most don't/won't relate to someone who is married, doesn't want to watch stupid torture-porn movies or worse, chick-flicks, dresses how they feel, and would rather spend their time doing productive things, versus watching Glee... Those who insult her are the narrow-minded, not her... To tell someone they should conform to be more social is the stupidest thing I've ever heard... let me introduce you to a new term "diversity"...

We're on a pre-med forum we are all either pseudo-intellectuals or intellectuals... for some it may change from day to day...

A great many religions do not believe in violence, so those movies are out, most chick flicks involve things that aren't usually "wholesome" and I do know a lot of people from other cultures as well as very devout Christians/Muslims who don't really watch any movies, except G rated films, or religiously-based films... So, I guess I wasn't so surprised by the comment... especially since she clarified moral or religious... I have moral objections to movies like Saw and Hostel, as does my husband, we refuse to watch them, and won't support that side of the film industry...

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

As to the rest of your post, aren't you doing the same thing as what you're accusing the younger folk of doing? You're being just as narrow-minded as the rest of us who enjoy having a few drinks with friends, watching awesome shows like Archer and HIMYM, etc...

umm, you're picking a rather obscure activity (at least for females) there with MC. You might as well have said Jai Alai. I drink a lot more often than I ski, but that doesn't mean that I don't prefer skiing. You're trying way too hard to separate and stereotype. Just because someone likes to go out to the bar for a few beers on a friday night doesn't mean they enjoy clubbing, etc. Hell, one of my best friends in college was a Muslim who never let his lips touch alcohol in his life, but he still would come out to the bars with us to hang out and talk.

taking a holier than thou attitude in college is a great way to have 4 years of isolation.

I just spent a good 30 minutes reading this thread (epic lulz) and nobody is telling you to conform. They're telling you to stop being annoying. Enjoy being a squeaky clean goth who hates chick flicks but don't get mad if it's not for everyone 😕😕😕

Edit: You also don't have to have everything in common with your friends... In fact that would probably be kinda boring. Your social issues seem to be coming from your attitude, not your activities.

Since you didn't read the whole thing, you clearly missed this: I didn't ever say I had social issues. In fact it's the opposite. Someone did say that "they need to change themselves so that they can become more sociable"... I'm saying that is absolutely wrong, if they are happy with themselves, they should NOT change themselves to suit the whims of others. Why make a person a priority when you are only an option to them? I refuse to change my personality to suit the desires of shallow people. I would lump several of the above people in such a group the basic comments they are saying "you should change because you don't fit in" versus "people should be accepted for who they are"

Edit: since you're all clearly missing some of the comments, I've been out of school for 15 years, not really worried about what you think of me...

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

Say what to someone you know? Bite me? Yep, I'd say it to your face, I'd say lots of things to your face. Why? Go ahead with your 6'4" 245lb build, guess what, who has the last laugh when you go to jail, and are never accepted to med school for having a criminal record. Additionally, you don't read well, I'm a WOMAN, not a guy... so go ahead, throw it out there... I used to be married to a 6'6" 250 lb drunk, think I'm afraid of you? Get over yourself. You threw the first insult, you think that I'm gonna take crap from some guy who thinks his size makes him tough? Good luck with that....

For the record, I really don't care what your mom has that causes some unknown condition that causes her to be a truck driver. If she wants to drive a truck to make a living, good for her, at least she's not on welfare...

Is that some sort of stupid meme?

Btw, I know some people who are so religious that they won't watch violent movies, TV shows and the like. They suck at relating to people who don't share their exact religious views as well as to a lot of people that do share their views. I think they'd be crappy doctors.

I neither drink nor party and the pair sound exceedingly boring to me. Also, it's painfully obvious their behavior/attire is what's keeping them from making social connections (hint: it's because the vast majority of people aren't like them, either in college or out.)
 
:idea: Or maybe it's their self-righteous superiority complex...judging everyone around them for their mortal sins.

I would never tell anyone to change who they are to fit in, but it sounds like someone is living in a very small self-imposed world for some overzealous religious bs reasons.

You threw the first insult, you think that I'm gonna take crap from some guy who thinks his size makes him tough? Good luck with that....

For the record, I really don't care what your mom has that causes some unknown condition that causes her to be a truck driver. If she wants to drive a truck to make a living, good for her, at least she's not on welfare...

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

:idea: Or maybe it's their self-righteous superiority complex...judging everyone around them for their mortal sins.

I would never tell anyone to change who they are to fit in, but it sounds like someone is living in a very small self-imposed world for some overzealous religious bs reasons.

Nah dude don't dump this on religious bs. There's no religion that encourages being a elitist pretentious prick.
 
What do you guys suggest is the best way to start making friends when you first get to college, especially if you don't have a roomate? Through high school I have quite a bit of friends, but I just feel like I don't let my true personality through, I can be quite fun, loud, and socialize all the time, but I am afraid of letting that out because of what others might think of me. Would that be good in college if I just talk to people who I don't know as long as I don't make it awkward and just be myself?

Exactly my (and my husband's) problem. We're not into the main campus "ideals," (for moral or religious reasons) such as:

  • drinking
  • partying
  • going to sports events (I rather get a crappy team together to jokingly play a sport than sit and watch one.)
  • going out late night to do... whatever
  • doing drugs
  • taking ritalin/adderall (sp?)/meth to stay up if an emergency sets back the date to complete an assignment. (Use good-old willpower instead and nap later.)
  • watch horror movies or chick flicks
  • go shopping (too poor)
We'd rather:

  • Watch kid's movies, which no one wants to go with us to see (Rapunzel was amazing)
  • Read, real books, not magazines about "50 Ways to BlahBlahBlah"
  • Discuss scientific/philosophical/religious/other interesting subjects, not what Glee was about yesterday or why Lindsey Lohan is in jail again
  • Form efficient study groups, but no one gets near us anyway or cares about studying
  • Dress in alternative fashion (and we're in the land of jeans and a free t-shirt. Minus the big bow [small one] and just normal black hair let loose and you can see how I dress on non-lab days. Note this isn't me though, but a similar style: http://www.lolitafashion.org/images/gothic7.jpg Husband goes baggy-pants goth 😛 )
  • Attempt new cooking styles or try new, healthier, organic foods rather than go eat greasy campus food. We love herbal, unsweetened teas while campus drinks sodasodasodasodabeer!
  • Attempt crafts, such as his basic woodworking and my sewing. We also dabble a bit in sketching, paiting, writing fiction/lyrics and I forgot the rest.
  • And if we shop, bargain hunt for something we need for the house or some other necessity
Yeah, we're a little "boring," but at least we go to class, don't end up with hangovers, and you can trust us with many responsibilities. 🙂 And we haven't made a single friend on campus yet.
