Oh lol. You sound like me. Is black rock shooter any good? Anyways, your parents are really great people, man. And you sound like a good person yourself.
College, for some people, is a lonely experience that they don't notice until they actually get attention. It's good that your parents were there for you, because now you want the same attention for yourself. I was friendless for a while when I transferred to my new school, but I went out to things I enjoyed. I love fighting games, I love animu, I like to work out, I like to draw, and I like to eat. So I joined clubs and did things that had stuff like that in it. Sure enough, I found friends that have become much more than that. One of my good friends is 30 years old and a HUGE American comics fan who creates his own art. He always feeds me and the rest of his crew even though he doesn't have to. He's kind, friendly, and tolerant. His girlfriend is the same. His friends are older than I am, and all jokers but I get along with them. My roommates are nerds like I am and they are probably going to be my friends for life. We all went though hard times, and we all got mad at each other, and I put them though a lot of shit this year. But they are my friends. I don't have a girlfriend or anything, i'm just a nerdy black kid with strange interests that people would normally side-cast. But these people didn't. All because I wanted to see what I could find, and I didn't give up. It's hard at first; you feel like the odd one out, awkward socially, etc. It gets better. And you start really caring about your own life.
