Shades, I've found some stuff. There is a LAN club but it's not explicitly for gaming. Boxing is a relatively new interest for me and there is a club for that. I couldn't find any links for intramural basketball but I'm positive it exists. I'll figure something out...hopefully.
jbrooks544, I think your bearing on me may be a little off. I'm not remotely concerned about being popular. I just want some good friends and the number of them is certainly not important. And about academics, I repeat myself; there is a direct correlation between extracurricular activity and academic success. I've found this to be true personally and studies have shown this. While I agree that friends do not magically complete a person, I think you're understating their importance. Maybe YOU don't have friends from college but I'm there now and I need to make the best of it. Remember, I don't have friends from high school either. Waiting and waiting for the next stage in life doesn't seem like a good idea. I hope this all doesn't sound abrasive but you have contradicted some of the advice the majority of posters have given and I'm just trying to draw some conclusions so I can make real decisions.
So far my priorities are:
- Move out of the house. Whether I need a random roomate or not, I'm not sure. The important thing seems to be independence at this point.
- Join a club or organization of some sort.
- Make a docor's appointment to see if there's something wrong with me.
