:/ I can definitely identify with you. It’s so strange, and so much at once…I can explain what college is like in words, nor do you need them - we’re on the same page, and as Christians, we have the same struggles and pressures and all of that good stuff.

Until then, don’t let anyone make you feel like you are doing something wrong, or you are this, that, or the other thing. “yet he himself is judged of NO MAN (verse above).” You answer to God alone, and while we need like-minded friends, and the Lord WILL provide them for you in time, God is also the only one who totally fills your heart and is closer to us than any person will ever be. Find some time alone with Him - set aside a chunk of your day, find a quiet, secluded spot on campus, and read your Bible, pray, ask the Lord to meet you where you are and to comfort you, and He will. It’s a promise He made to us (“But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul” - Deut. 4:29). He knows how you feel and what you are going through, and He WILL walk you through it
