i need a rant...and i'm going to sound like a spoiled little girl, but oh well...
3 months ago i moved away from home to come to University...and ever since, i've been more-or-less miserable. I haven't seen most of my friends in that 3 months. and it's my birthday tomorrow...my 18th, which is a big deal in the UK, since i'm now able to drink alcohol legally.
Now, it was my freind's birthday yesterday...he came to the same University as me, and he had friends come down to see him, expecially for his birthday.
No one's coming to see me...and one of the people that came to see him is, i thought, a good friend...
I'm not saying she shouldn't have come...of course she should...but, i just don't see why she couldn't stay a few days extra to spend my birhtday with me too...or why other people didn't seem to have thought about making the same effort...
I feel forgotten...it's like i'm not as important to the people i thought cared about me most as i used to be u.u i sound so spoiled and ungrateful, but i'm just so unhappy alot of the time, and my friends know this...and they don't think that maybe visitng me on my birhtday might make me feel better...even for a little while...
all i want is to feel cared about u.u i need to shut up now i think...

Aww. sad I know you feel. My birthday is eight days away, and that's when I can legally drink in Canada, as well. At age ninteen. It really sucks that you're going to be alone on your birthday. But... I hate to introduce logic here... It is the Christmas season. This is a very busy time of year for a lot of people. Most people's vacation doesn't start until the 21st, because that's the last Friday before Christmas. People want to have time off during the holiday season, so they store up their vacation days. Now, if your friends are still in school, they might have exams right now. I know that I do. Maybe your other friend got lucky and had some friends who were finished their exams early, I don't know. Or maybe your friends were going home for Christmas themselves. It's hard to say what could have kept them away. Having said all this, I feel I have to stand up for the mutual friend. You don't know why she couldn't stay. Maybe she had exams, or a job, or something really important that forced her to return. Maybe she had planned to stay, but circumstances made her go back. I'm just saying that you shouldn't get too angry at her until you know everything about why she returned. It may seem like she just didn't want to spend time with you, but I'm sure that's not it. So, I guess it comes to, why don't you go home? It just sounds easier for you to make the trip back than for them to come to you. Why can't you? Because it's expensive, you've got things to do there, etc, etc.... The same reasons you can't is the same reason they can't. If you are going home for Christmas, then I think you should just consider having a belated birthday party. It might not be the same, but I think it will make you feel like you're less forgotten. To sum it up: Just because your friends and family can't come see you, doesn't mean they don't love you. It may have just been chance that your friend could have his friends come visit. Moving away to go to university sucks, and this is one of the reasons why. You don't spoiled, but you do sound very lonely, and I strongly suggest that you try to visit your home as soon as possible. Also, happy early birthday.

well...the friend i'm talking about has been finished University for Christmas for more than a week now...she doesn't get exams because her course is internally assessed, and she's finished all that. She stays half an hour away from her home, and as far as i know she doesn't have a job...so i find it hard to think of what could be keeping her from even coming to see me...
I had asked a friend if she could come and see me for my birthday, and she said she would, but then she got a job and has to work on saturday...and she lives twice as far away as my other friend, so i undertsand that...at least she tried.
but no one else has even mentioned it u.u
i know i'm being totally unreasonable, but i can't help it. They all know i'm feeling down...>.< i'm jus gonna stop now before i hate myself

and, it's all well and good seeing them over Christmas...but, after that? i'll be forgotten again...or feel like I am, and that's just as bad u.u
i'm possibly the least optimistic person ever...

Man, that sucks. -hug-
Maybe they're all planning a secret surprise party?
You never know.
Edit: eighteen is the age we get to drink too.

Im sorry Rebel that things are going so blah-ly. I know the feeling..I know that phrase sounds a bit empty. But I moved around a lot as a kid/teen..so Ive had many friends over the years who both didnt know how to stay connected with me..and forgot my birthday. Sweet sixteen? Not a single present or word from alll my friends. Hell, I was living with a friend at the time and my mum had to have a friend bring me by a cake because she was hours away - and my friend was all 'o_O oh yeah..its your birthday...oops.'
-Squeezy hugs- I wont be around much tomorrow..so early happeh birthday hun <3

Awwh. I know the feeling, hun. Maybe you should call her up and say something like "Guess Who's Birthday it is!". Maybe if you ask if she can come over she might. Or if it's already passed, say it in the past tense and ask her why she didn't come over, or ask her what's been going on lately. Maybe she has good reason.

Aw, hun ._.; I know how that is, too. And if I was there, I would totally be there and I'd drink my a** off with you and we'd have a party! D< And I'd make everyone jealous and they'd be like "Damn I'm a crappy friend" and I'd be like "YA YOU ARE YOU HOOKER" and I'd chew them out and make 'em cry and then we'd drink our asses off and have a grand ol' time 3nodding
I know how it is to have friends betray you like that though =o= And I wish I could've done something @-@; But unfortunately I only saw this thread this morning v.v

Have you made any friends at the University.
You know in the psychological line of things you change up friends all through high school, each year...you may keep some but it's not a bad thing.
As goes with College, you leave and go somewhere and make new friends your old friends become forgotten...unless you were in my case where I went to the same town college and continued on with half of my graduating class.
But don't think you are forgotten, people just have lots of things to do especially coming out of your equivalent to America's High school.
Friends come and go...but don't let it get to you...make new friends.
