Short answer: In high school I was “popular”. In college I basically had to start over socially. I did okay with that in my first two years, but in my third year onward it kind of fell apart and I ended up fairly isolated. (It didn’t help that I took six years to graduate and my freshman-year friends all graduated in four.) I also hated most of my classes, and the ones I didn’t loathe were merely tolerable.
