I feel like I missed out on life going to a tiny school in the middle of nowhere because of the full ride. Sure I don’t have debt but my network is small and hard to use

No respectable network was formed in college. It's developed and improved through your career.

Ah, I love how fair and egalitarian our nation is. Tell the lower class to pull themselves up by their bootstraps while the upperclass give all the opportunities to their family, friends, and "network". Network consisting of people with the right "pedigree".

It’s funny to hear Americans complain about their purportedly “false” meritocracy and “rotten” society. SSE1 is on the money. Compare your system to what’s around you, please. (P.S. I’m not in the states)...

I went to a big 10, typical college school and I don’t feel like I have a network from that, and I definitely don’t use it. The best part of life is being grown and doing what you want, college is a small part of childhood. The best is yet to come

At least you have a network. Some of us came to the US after college. In my case, I had to start all over.

Nobody cares about your school - the world is so big, it's ridiculous to think that a tiny sliver who were privileged enough to go to a handful of name-brand institutions at such a young age are the only ones who will be successful or live life fully. There are so many people who went to no-name schools that are killing it through hard work, talent, etc. And even if they aren't in a prestigious job, who cares? Are they happy? Are they making a positive impact? These are far more important measures of a life well-lived.

My number one insecurity is how alone I am.
I don't have family. I don't have close friends anymore after I finally stood up for myself and cut off the toxic ones. I'm also single.

I don't like being alone but it's hard to find a true friend or S/O I truly love. So it's hurts a lot when people ask me "who are your friends, even" or "what are you doing for the holidays with your family"? I feel pathetic even though I know I did nothing wrong...
