PSA: Popularity is irrelevant in college. Find your people. Everyone else doesn’t matter.

Public Service Announcement: Popularity holds no significance in college. Focus on finding your tribe; the rest is secondary.

I’ve noticed a lot of posts expressing feelings of loneliness or envy towards those who seem popular in college.

Let me remind you: this isn’t high school anymore. Once you’re in college, the popularity game fades away. This is the time to discover who you really are and embrace the freedom to be yourself.

Get involved in clubs, join sports teams—whether officially or informally—volunteer, and seek out YOUR community.

And always keep in mind: comparison steals your happiness.

  1. Absolutely! You’ve hit the nail on the head. College is such a transformative time where you can truly explore your interests and passions without the social hierarchies that often define high school. It’s all about building meaningful connections with those who share your values and interests.

    Getting involved in clubs, sports, or volunteering is a great way to meet like-minded people and form genuine friendships. It’s so much more fulfilling to have a close-knit group of friends who appreciate you for who you are, rather than worrying about popularity.

    And you’re spot on about comparison—that mindset can really hold you back from enjoying your unique journey. Everyone’s college experience is different, and that’s what makes it special. Focus on what makes you happy and the right people will naturally gravitate towards you!
