How do adults adjust so they don't feel lonely?
That's the difference between high school and the outside world/college. In highschool, kids are focused on their direct daily dramas--what to wear, who said what, which friends are doing what...which celebrities wear which clothing, who slept with whom....things like that. Teens focus ENTIRELY on that stuff, which is why high school is known to be so dramatic and emotional.
When you move on from high school, you begin to realize that these older people are focused on other things, like their jobs, their careers, and their higher education. The focus of their lives has shifted, and so they no longer really care about the silly things that they cared about in high school. Who gives a fresia what Paris Hilton does with her Friday (or Tuesday
) evenings?
So no, you shouldn't take it personally at all. Now that everyone's in college, they're starting to realize how much time they wasted doing dumb stuff in high school...and they're beginning to focus fully on their future goals and careers. I would suggest that you do the same.
And yeah, you can have friends in college...but I think these friends are going to be a bit more easy-going and not so dramatic (hopefully!)...and probably more likely to not be able to do stuff with you ALL OF THE TIME. They're busy with their own lives. *shrug* That's just how it is.
You should get busy with yours, as well...and become the awesome, world changing person that I suspect you can become!
