I have been out of school for many years now, but I would have to say that freshman year was my worst. I had a small but close group of friends in middle school, but we got separated in high school. My three friends, along with almost everyone else I knew enough to talk to, went to one high school and I had to go to a different high school by myself. I was socially awkward, shy, and nervous so I didn't make friends easily. I did find a group to hang out with my freshman year, but I never felt really comfortable with them.
By my sophomore year, I had a new group of friends that I really liked and I fit in well with them. So, things were pretty good my sophomore and junior years.
Unfortunately, most of my new friends were a grade above me, so I spent my senior year mostly alone. But at least by then, I knew a lot of teachers and I would eat lunch in the classroom with them. Yes, I was that nerdy. Plus, I was excited because it was my final year, so being a bit lonely wasn't too bad.
