Severly depressed at university?

Been there, doing that. My period in the dorm seemed interminable, especially at first. Definitely wasn't used to the drunken shoutings, pointless interruptions, and awkward roommate tension in a place that is supposed to be your home. Of course, everyone is expected to blend into that whole Animal House thing. I think university years are sometimes just rigorous tests to see who makes it out alive. Or graduated. Anyway, don't let it all wear you down because even though it seems like there is nobody who has the same views you do, there are. Finding people who are relaxed and not into the party/wasted stupor scene will help you get some of your issues off your chest. Also, even though you're technically at school, try to give yourself some slack. Hard work has to be tempered by letting yourself do something you enjoy on a regular basis, whether it's a hobby or hanging out with people or just sitting and thinking. If your roommates are seriously uncooperative, see if it's possible to move. Also, is your campus has student counseling services, go. They are really helpful, even more so because they are specialized to the particular point in life you're at. This is the best advice I can offer and best wishes in sticking it out.
