I am 18 years old, first year in college.


Truthfully now, I am really bored, I don't know why, but perhaps because my friends didn't want to play with me again, they went play with others. What should I do now ?
After I saw them go with each other, I felt so sad, I immediately went quickly to library, took out 2 books but I felt really so sad that I couldn't concentrate to read anything.

Thank you
