LONELINESS IS REAL
I am a freshman in a university ( about to complete my first year ) with a girl to boy ratio of around 1:10. During my first semester I was spending a lot of time with friends, chatting up with people and making connections. Due to this my productivity as a dev, if I am even capable of being called that decreased ( I was not a developer before joining , but I had an aim of being one , esp at least the best in my batch ) after 1st year. In retrospect I did nothing productive till 3 months out of 4 in my first sem and the guilt hit me hard . During the last month I had to catch up with my much neglected studies and all I had done was a little bit of html and css, and barely scratched the surface of js( please don't judge me for this :) , I had to start somewhere < although I learned a little bit of C++ > ). BUT I WAS A HAPPY CUNT, and had no sign of lonelines. Now during this sem , I had made progress ( learn js with es6 syntax and still learning, did c++ and extended my knowledge ) . Currently I am working on my Vue full stack app ( along with express and some websocket library , TBD ) < yeh I learnt some backend too > , and increasing my knowledge of dsa using clrs. Although my productivity has increased manifolds but I know feel the need of closure. I am kinda happy with the fact that I know a lot of people around here ( thanks to my extroverted 1st semester ) but sometimes it hits me hard at night when I don't have a monitor to drown my eyes and thoughts in. I have increased my academic performance too but I need someone to share and express my feelings with. I could have made a girlfriend earlier but now most of them are taken and I have lost touch. But believe me, all I want is a companion to spend these lonely days and night ( not talking about as a friend ). Staying away from home isnt easy you know...m :(

KUDOS TO DEVRANT FOR DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE LIKE ME CAN FEEL SAFE IN OUR NATURAL HABITAT. I COULDN'T HAVE EXPRESSED MY FEELINGS ANYWHERE ELSE EXCEPT IN A PERSONAL BLOG ( where no one would have read it )

PS1: I apologise if I sounded arrogant about any of my skill, I didn't mean that way. I ain't even that good, just kinda proud of myself a little for achieving something I couldn't have thought.

PS2: Any type of suggestions and help is much appreciated ( considering I am a college student who went into some serious development 4 months ago , I am pretty impressionable ;) )

PS3: Please don't confuse this with depression. I am HAPPY BUT LONELY

PS4: Is there a way so that I can change my username?

    @DivSyntax joined a club . Sadly it is for coding. All the other clubs out there are time consuming and have no merits. I thought about it , but there is no point in joining as I have a lot of friends ( highly relative statement ),but no time to chat up with them. Therefore joining another club would be futile. :(

    @irene The struggle is real.... I am spending my alone time listening to calming music. Try Canon in D, kiss the rain, river flows in you, hallelujah, sad song ( by We the King, not Little mix :D ), can't stop falling in love. ( if l you haven't heard )

    Mate, I feel you. 80% of my life is currently based of studies and work and I can barely find any time for anything else. But you got to figure, what you do today will help you in the future, just never let go of the self confidence to approach and interact while studying hard.

    You'll find people, lose the lonely feeling and meet the partner you're looking for. Assuming now you about my age (20-25) u still got plenty of time for that. Do what you love and see it as a long term investment for yourself and the future. Wishing the best of luck and may document.write("the force be with u"); (but don't use .write, makes chrome feel violated)

    As for the guy to gal ratio: there is a real easy solution to that! Just be gay!
    Suddenly the ratio works for you instead of against you.
