history: I just came to college and miss all my friends. I just came to college and have no friends in my dorm and no one to eat with. That is pretty hard my dude. But join some clubs or get to know some people in your dorm area.
current: Yes I think I will have to do that because I don't want to feel lonely and cry in my room all day. 
next: Also try joining a club you might end up in apartment with someone next year instead of the cramped dorms.
