How to get over not having a good college experience? (slrpnk.net)

I'm going into my last year of college and I kinda felt like I did college wrong. Like, my grades are good but everything else about college I failed at. Like socially and stuff, after 4 years I barely know anybody. I commuted(to avoid debt, and did so successfully) so maybe that's part of my problem.

But I feel college was supposed to be special time in your life and to me it has been indifferent. :/Thoughts?

The "college experience" is different for everyone. It's also a relatively short period of your life. Instead of looking back with regret or dissapointment, look forward to what you can do after you graduate. Find community in your next endeavor, settle in, find ways you can help those in need around you. Plan adventures, build relationships with those you care about. It's technically possible to settle somewhere and grow roots.

Yeah, part of me is really happy to have this time of my life behind me. I know that life post college has it own struggles, I'll deal with those when I get there. But I'm happy to almost be done with my current ones.
