How to get over not having a good college experience? (slrpnk.net)

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?

You had a conception of what it was supposed to be, and that might be the problem. Like you can see from these comments, a lot of people had the same experience as you. There's no "right" experience to have had. You only notice how your experience doesn't line up with your expectations, and you fail to notice what you did enjoy or gain.

Yeah it's kinda reassuring in a way.
