I'm going into my last year of college and I kinda felt like I did college wrong. Like, my grades are good but everything else about college I failed at. Like socially and stuff, after 4 years I barely know anybody. I commuted(to avoid debt, and did so successfully) so maybe that's part of my problem.

But I feel college was supposed to be special time in your life and to me it has been indifferent. :/Thoughts?

For me, university literally made me depressed. But I also met my partner online during that time. I enjoyed studying but this myth that college is the time when you'll meet loads of friends, have tons of sex and wild parties, etc. Is very, very harmful
