I’m a mature student and last year I completed an access course. I’ve ended up going to uni quite far away from where I’m from whilst most of my cohort elected to stay locally.
Throughout the past year they’ve arranged a number of meetups via our whatsapp group, none of which I have been able to attend as they’ve always been during term times. I’ve been sad that I’ve had to miss them but thought for sure over summer I’d get the chance to attend one.
They’ve arranged two in the past month, which I still haven’t been able to attend as I’ve only recently come back home for the summer. When I mentioned that I don’t return until late June, and perhaps we could arrange something else for July, someone else responded saying that he’s away for basically all of July so maybe we could do something late June instead. This coming Friday was suggested, and a few people said that might work for them.
I messaged in the whatsapp group yesterday for a confirmation about this Friday. It’s been seen by those people, but no one’s responded, not even to let me know that doesn’t work for them.
AIBU to think they’re just not that bothered about meeting up with me? It’s a shame because this whole past year I’ve been looking forward to seeing them again and having a big catch up about our uni experiences, and I guess essentially, they’ve all been having that catch up with each other during all these other meetups. I understand this is a consequence of my choosing to go to uni elsewhere, but I can’t help but feel sad and disappointed that I’m missing out. I don’t know whether to keep trying to arrange something or just let it go.
