My boyfriend abandoned me for the cape all day. All my friends are busy with things. I dont want to waste today because i have limited days in this place because im moving into college in 10 days. What should i do?

Answer 1

First off, if you really feel like your boyfriend abandoned you, when he gets back let him know he needs to find another girlfriend. What kind of boyfriend would leave you sitting with nothing to do when you're heading out in less than two weeks?

For today though, why not hang with yourself - get used to spending some time WITHOUT anyone else and get to know yourself better. Maybe you can figure out how you ended up with a thoughtless jerk for a boyfriend and why you put up with him.

If you're heading off to college for the first time, why not read up about the town and the surrounding area, and check out any messageboards or blog from people who already know the place. If you're returning to a school you're already familiar with, you might even want to start your own blog, or just scan the boards and see if you can answer some questions for a new student headed there.

If I was you though, I'd grab a good (I mean interesting, not necessarily a classic or award winning) book along with some music and a headset and find a nice shade tree, maybe where there's a little breeze, and just get lost in the story.

Too many kids just don't appreciate their own company enough to spend time alone; they all seem to feel that if they're not part of a group doing 'something' they just can't have any fun. It was bad enough when I was your age, and it's ten times worse now - I understand because I have a son headed back to his second year of college and a daughter getting ready to start here junior year of high school. But give yourself a chance to spend some time alone; once you appreciate yourself, you'll be alot less willing to waste time with people like your boyfriend who don't see what they're missing.

Just one old guys suggestion, and I hope you have a good day and don't feel like it's wasted when your head hits the pillow tonight.

Answer 2

I agree: start packing.  If you need supplies for your dorm room, head to the store and buy them.  Get everything that you possibly can packed and ready to go.  It'll help you feel more organized, and the time will fly by.

Answer 3

start packing  while everyone else is busy. This way when they have time to play so will you.
