I have school, I am away from home for the first time, and I have a job...I need to get organized and manage my time better. Also, the only people I know here are my roomates and I am not really into their lifestyle...how do I meet people.

My question would be, what are you into? It sounds like the problem is not just meeting anyone, but meeting people who share your preferences. Try to put some time aside on days you aren't working to pursue your interests. That way you can meet people who share them.

My best advice would be joining clubs! There you will meet people who are into the same stuff that you are, and also want to make new friends. Look for fliers around campus... there should be tons of clubs! Get out and do stuff. There are hundreds of other kids on campus who are in the same boat and want to make friends.
The best advice I can off for managing time is to work on homework between classes and squeeze in naps when you can. It's amazing how much taking a little nap can refresh you and make you ready for work and school.
Set up a routine for yourself. Having a routine really helped me last year! Don't stress out when you begin to think, "Oh no! I don't have enough time in the day!" Relax, and set up a schedule. Prioritize things. Going to classes and doing homework should always come first! Also, be sure to put aside time everyday to do something fun. If you need to, quit your job until you can get into the swing of things. If that isn't an option, that limit the number of days you actually work to just on weekends. Having a job is probably what is overwhelming you the most! Good luck!

I'm in the same situation. The best way to meet new people is to get involved on campus. You will meet many people in different student orgaizations, and they will have similar interests as you considering you are in the same club. Also make friends with people in your classes. You will see them on a regular basis and they can help you study if either of you are having trouble in the class. Just be friendly and be yourself...you'll meet many new people.

1. avoid friday classes like the plague
2. Sleep as much as possible
3. Go wander around to the frat/sorority areas on a friday night, there'll be parties, wander into them, if anyone asks, your Jason/Nick/John/Phil's cousin or friend.
4. Check out bible studies/college groups/clubs.
5. Complain about the class to whoever will listen, misery loves company.
6. Drink a lot of caffeine, drink so much that your jumping around and building forts from all your leftover soda/coffee cups and cans..once your in your fort ask your roomie if "they're gone now?"
7. Did I mention sleep a lot?

Wow, examining your description of the lady and your self shows me 2 thoroughly opposite personalities at artwork right here. i'm assuming she's extra extroverted, and you are the extra quiet/reflective variety? properly, all i can declare, being extra the quiet/reflective variety - is which you need to make certain in case you rather must be with this individual, because it sounds like she's taking the relationship with no attention. in case you do - tell her which you adore her and choose to be together with her for the long-haul, yet you do no longer choose your lives to be intertwined and you like your man or woman area too. (after all, it is something you will need even 5 or 10 years down the line and it quite is excellent you sparkling up what variety of way of existence you look ahead to and how lots "very own-time" you like.) in case you do no longer think of this relationship is something you nonetheless choose to be in 5 years from now, merely straight forward and easy tell her which you're quite busy in December and that's not achievable so you might have a party on your place then. Be organization and guard concentration on your self, and your plans (after all, it is your place) and recommend to her that she would be in a position to regulate the party at her place or over returned on your place quite. Please ensure you're no longer rude and if she asks you approximately her love for you, ensure you're non-committal by ability of asserting something like, "look, we the two want one yet another superb now yet i individually do no longer understand how long this could final. we are going to ought to take it a week at a time, like we already are until eventually all of us understand one yet another extra useful." (AND PLEASE keep in mind: I HATE IT while men STRING alongside females!)
